Umm, actually I'm using my fixie to train for a triathlon and I think it looks HOT with aerobars. (It's the big ol' REI saddlebag that looks dorky.)

i definitely was attracted to fixed gear because of the simplicity, so for me i wouldnt do it. but i am not you. who has a better understanding of what is cool than you? the answer is already within ;-)

Basically, anything that provides comfort, safety or practicality is uncool.

Although I use one, you left out brake lever.

Seek not outward justification?

I'm contemplating putting clip-ons on my beat-up conversion, slapping the front brake back on it, and using it for the Oklahoma summer duathlon series. Guess that makes me uncool.

A bike and the stuff you put on it is only as cool/uncool as you give it credit for being. Nothing else matters.

i just got a computer for my birfday, and i love it. i also love the simplicity of the fixed gear but i sorta gave up and got a cage and soon a brake. but anyway yea i would say get a computer, although i have trouble keeping my eyes on the road now

Sh*t. As far as I'm concerned, you could have just said, "that bike = dope".

taking that bike in the wind would certainly be entertaining.

who is Ryan Ingersol and why was he banned?

also, in the name of pretentiousness, anything practical is uncool.

How many of y'all got a mirror mounted on your fixed gear?

I do.

Fixed gears are as uncool as I felt when I missed the Rip Offs play Chicago!

I got a bell, and front/rear reflectors, but not the required reflective tape on the chainstays...I'll rock any accesory, I don't give a damn, if it makes me laugh even once I'll buy it...I've never had streamers on a grownup bike...but I ain't never been cool so I'm free to what I want harhar

looks great.

Just got back from the first ride with a set of aerobars (training up for a tri this summer). Definately nice to have.

Judge for yourself...

So you ARE doing the a tri fixie. I'm doing one in Dunedin, Fl, in a couple months. The swim should be interested. I'm like the guy from the old SNL skit about male synchronized swimming..."I'm not a strong swimmer".

oh yea i took it out just this morning.
and yes ... thats me in the picture

bravo!

works for me.

i always wanted to mount up my aerobars, just for the heck of it. It would be funny to see some of the expressions i got as I time-trial it through the city, haha

Like this?

Since that was taken, I have installed a wireless computer. Probably uncool but I like it.... lets me know what kind of a day the dogs are having.

Dogbait

Yeah. I figured, what the heck? I'll be so far out of after the swim anyway.
