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)

Or even a conversion. That way you could get clearance and mount points for mudguards as well.

I would assume the base-model District. The highest level District is awesome. (but more money than the T1)

Won't the T1 be too RBSO? I keep telling Canadians to send the Kilo to my house and come pick it up but nobody ever seems to want to take me up on it.

oh ok. although the T1 isn't even that expensive. $849 CAD. If I were to order from bikes direct it would probably cost me almost the same after the shippings costs, USD - CAD $ conversion and then driving to pick it up across the border.

I'm seriously considering the Trek Districts now. I'm definitely not rich, I just currently sold some of my older paintball guns and want to put that money towards a fixie.
