No it's all going down. It's time to get out. We have already seen the rise of the shopper. Old bike going for £200 over the summer. The idea is so much better than fixed wheel. Usually three speeds, two basket so you don't end up with a sweaty back and can carry a ghetto blaster easily, nice and compact, for easy storage in small flats. I am buying shoppers now to cash in on the boom and selling all my fixed gear stuff. I suggest you all do the same now while you still can get some money back on your parts.
By next summer it will all be about shoppers I guarantee. I have contacts in mainland Europe where the trend is one season behind, I will be able to get you the best prices for your track / fixed wheel bikes abroad in the rising market. It is no longer worth selling part locally, let me take the headache out of selling your parts / bikes abroad.
