I had the
0607 and was generally happy with it.Very comfy ride, not the stiffest though. The standard brakes suck out loud, however.
Talking of brakes....
They take the paint off the rims in no time. It's worth deciding if you're gonna run one on the back before you goose the rim. Didn't occur to me til it was too late, but obviously when you tension the chain the brake will then contact a slightly different bit of the rim and wear off a different bit of the paint.
Obviously if you're not anal/OCD this won't be an issue.
But don't try and tell me most people who ride fixed aren't.
Unless the ride the London Wrongster, natch....
