Yeah, I know. Today was the first time I've actually ridden a fixie and I found 70" was fine; it was much easier to ride at a really low cadence than really high, which is why I'm leaning towards a bigger ratio.
The caveat to that is that I was riding without a saddle, so now that I've got one I might feel differently when I ride home in a few minutes...

It's also a big increase in gear ratio. It's your funeral, but I wouldn't be going over 70" on a beater.
