Got tired of riding in thick mud after two very wet summers. Found I was riding my MTB almost esxclusively on the road. Went to London, saw a Bianchi Pista, thought it was beautiful. Didn't know about fixed still, thinking is was simply SS. Decided to get a road bike, and decided to get a SS to save on cash. Posted up my intent on an internet board (not here) and got called a Williamsburg Hipster Cunt by a yank, watched SuperTed's video on the Charge site, bought a Plug, flipped the wheel and have been riding fixed ever since. Love the buzz during and after a long ride, love the sense of superiority over wimps riding freewheels
