Bought a complete as my first SS/fixed back in about 2005/6 from SJS (http://www.websites on the decals, oooh), they called it their Winter bike. Steered like a boat, weighed a ton. But was a great intro. Had full guards and medium-long track ends. And they fitted SKS secu-clips on the rear so you could disconnect the rear guard and flex it enough to slip the wheel out. Was a really good, neat solution. Notably, knowall types in bike shops took pains to tell me the clips were ‘wrong’ and should only be on front guards. Took a while for me to realise why SJS had sensibly built them this way, and be able to put the patronizing bikeshop men right.
