My dad and I decided it would be interesting to make his old tourer in a fixed, I'd talked to some bike friends about it in the 90's and my dad had heard how fashionable it was where he lived (seattle), we both wanted to try it.
After building it, he hated it and I loved it, so brought it back to blighty with me (holdsworth, so it came home!)...
Many reasons why it's become my main bike, partly the exercise, partly I love riding a bike almost as old as me (and renolds tubing), but mostly because it hardly ever breaks down.
