Fixed Gear Riders?
Anyone here ride a fixed gear bike? If you've never tried it, find a way to get on one. They're pretty cool. I use it as my daily driver. I have a Redline 925 that I take on all errands and commuting.
It's also great to train on for the big hills and stuff. |

"fixed gear biking"
Yeap it's pretty cool, just remind the beginners that you can't really "coast"...
so resting your legs is OUT OF THE QUESTION and quite dangerous...I've seen a guy's face turn into a pizza because he was training on a track bike for the first time, got carried away, forgot to continue pedaling after an interval and basically was thrown face first onto the asphalt... |

 Even if it ain't broke, you can still fix it with our Surly Fixxer hub converter. The Fixxer allows you to convert any Shimano cassette hub (except Silent Clutch, 2004 Dura Ace or pre-1997 Dura Ace) into a true fixed-gear. By simply removing the cassette body and replacing it with our adapter, you can use a fixed track cog and lockring for safe coast-free riding. A popular conversion for track racers, spring time trainers, fixed-gear commuters and messengers, the Fixxer includes all parts necessary for installation, including axle, bearing, cones, spacers, and axle nuts. Most converted hubs can be spaced 120, 126, 130 or 135mm, and can even be used with a freewheel if a freewheeling single-speed conversion is desired. Color: Silver |

What's cheap?
 Give a price range so I know what you are looking for.

I picked one of these up about 2 years ago. I use it as my daily commuter.
http://www.bikesdirect.com/products/windsor/thehour.htm The only change I made was putting bullhorns on it. I love it and it's cheap. I also know tha Bianchi has one for about $500.
