Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Bikes: '74 Schwinn Sports Tourer (Polo), S-Works E5 Team Festina (Chorus 11), Trek 2200 Bonded Carbon (Fixed), Trek 920 (7 speed IGH), Chesini Olimpiade SL (1x7)

I'd go for the moto because I'm not a fan of big decals on BD bikes.

The Hour, because I have a white one too. Besides, it seems like you wanted a white bike anyway...

FWIW, the components on both bikes are pretty much the same.

Pick the one that fits you best and has your size.
