Well this fixed lark is doing the world of good

Er, he's got horizontal dropouts. He doesn't need one.

Do not confuse horizontal with vertical

Now there I might just agree with you. I've given fixed a fair trial, and have decided it belongs on velodromes.

Anybody wanna buy a fixie?

Freewheel it then. Seriously. All the simplicity and none of problems.

A little surprised at some of the comments regarding fixed wheels. I rode one as training/commuting bike for 6/7 years (42*16), always found additional control a real benefit in icy/snowy conditions and often rode it on 100 mile club runs. I used to fly on the race bike early season.

I often rode 52 * 16 in club time trials recording a best of 57m 12secs for 25 miles, personal best on my race bike being 52m 40secs.
