I couldn't own a bike that nice. I'd be too scared to have any real fun on it.

beautiful find, but i can't believe you'd buy that as your FIRST track bike.. that's like learning how to drive on a vintage alfa romero (btw, i know nothing about cars but that name sounded good)

That is a beautiful classic bike! I became interested in fixies because I admired the clean appearance and simplicity, including the perfect chain line, of track bikes. I didn't know there was a whole culture of those who rode such bikes on the street until I started doing some research, though I had seen some fixies being ridden in the area. I am sure someone will call me a poser sooner or later, but I don't worry about it. Some people seem amused at my liking for wooden canoes, 19th-century style canoe paddles, and single-shot rifles too. No kool-aid; just an appreciation for clean simplicity, plus an interest in history.
