>>1341144I'm feeling strangely attracted to the idea of building / getting a fixie now because I've just watched a couple videos of fixie races.
I have a question though lads. Let's say you have a hill near you that is basically a fixed 5% gradient for nearly a mile (0.8 miles / 1.3 kilometres). It's a hill that I have to climb when I'm coming back from the city (going there is great because it's downhill, coming back isn't so great). Is this possible on a fixie? I reckon I just wouldn't be able to push a big gear for that long, I'd have to get off and walk.
I guess a fixie would be fun for just riding around town though, running errands, getting to the pub etc.
