I know at least a couple others ride Ffxed gear bikes, so I figured I'd find out who else rides a fixie.
I just got mine last Friday...it's a Mercier Kilo TT and I love it...easily the best $500 I've spent in years. You just feel so in touch with the road on a fixed-gear...plus it's way faster than riding a bus/driving a car/riding a longboard in downtown Seattle. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() New MKS track pedals are on the way, and I plan to get a new seat soon too. ![]() Who else rides fixed? -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...

Yeah Matt, I got it from BikesDirect. I recently got new pedals and just got a new flat bar last weekend. Call it what you want, but unless I wear skinny jeans, I ride with my pant leg rolled up...I wouldn't want to get my jeans caught in my chain.
![]() And yeah, like Matt said, you can stop just by putting resistance on the pedals. I'm not to the point yet where I can stop as fast as with a brake using just my legs, especially on steep hills. What gearing are you running Matt? -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...
