First Fixed Gear...Specialized Lancaster Comp?
Debating about buying a fixed gear or single speed for riding through the winter. I currently own a specialized Roubaix and like the Specialized brand.
Any thoughts on the Lancater Comp or suggestions for a good single speed/Fixed gear for a noob to ride through the winter in the Northeast?

Frame Saver + a towel to wipe it down afterwards. Keep washing your bike, road salt eats Al too.
