Townies are for guys (like me) that are trying to hold onto their youth, but are slowly slipping into retro-grouch territory.

all bikes approach townies/commuters. Or is it that all riders end up there?

Here's my 24" Hiawatha with 26" rims and tires. It'll go anywhere. I think it was made in '46.

Schwinn World Sport conversion. I want a Paul's Flatbed type front rack and the rattle can paint job is getting pretty beat, so I might splurge for a powder coat this spring.

Some people keep posting typical stripped-down fixed gears and calling them 'townies'. Nice bikes, but they're not townies. You need practical non-racing crap, like fenders, racks, promenade bars, or what-not.
