Do you think a 20" wheels fixed bike is possible?
The pedals would hit the ground at turns?
Thanks.

Thank you for your answers.
I am new to the fixed gear thing, and think its very interesting.
In my country, i never saw one fixed.(only a 14" whem i was kid, but i dont remember the feeling).
There are some customized 20" SS bikes minimalistic only with coaster brakes, high seat posts and bars for a relaxed riding position, they call "nuvem" (cloud).
If i could make something like with Fixed Gear, it would be pretty unique, and people would go nuts, ever more if they see a Trackstand.
I tried to though about, and my only concern was about inclining at turns and dont be able to control pedal position, or passing over bumps.

Absolutely,
There are 3 of them in the group I ride with; two Raleigh folding 20's and a Moulton in process.
Here is my friend Bill's fixie from the fixed gear gallery. I've ridden it around the parking lot a few times and it is a blast to ride.
