They look cool if you are into that look, but IMO since Fixed gears blew up they have begun pretty commonplace, and are bit of a cliche . . . On the right bike they can look great, but i mostly see them on totally inapropriate builds.
I used to have one, liked it, but TBH thought it was a thief magnet and sold it on. I bought it with no grand ideas that it would be off any performance enhancing use, but did find that once you got up to speed it did have the feeling of making it easier to maintain a high speed, but this could all have been in my head
