the biggest irony is that on a fixie, you only need a few handful of components, also when it come to singlespeed/fixie, it's all about enjoying the ride, not the bike.

that's what differ us from those roadie/MTB where equipment is really important to them.

Point of order, m'lud! Although I agree with the first comment as this is plainly the essence of ss/fw, I do think that components are VERY important to most ss/fw riders. Maybe it's because we don't have quite the plethora that roadies and mtb riders have that means decisions about what components to use are taken very seriously, often with great care and thought.
