The new Kinesis Fixed... thoughts?

Fair play you're quite right...there are bigger crimes in the world...it's just that I remember the days when the whole spirit of the fixed gear scene was converting old road bikes, finding a gem of a track frame in somebody's garage etc etc etc...

....I don't know now there are so many of these fat tubed road aly road frames with track ends smacked on the back...it just seems a bit sad Iguess...

..but yep each to their own...

Have you thought that is maybe because a fat tubed aly road geometry frame with track ends may make a better road fixed than an old steel conversion or a tight geometry track bike?

I am not too worried about halcyon days or the 'fixed scene' myself.

(must point out that I don't ride one of these myself, even though it may make a better road bike than my tight geometry track bike!)
