Used to work with an ex-curryer/mate of superted. Ended up at the cat and mutton post-work most nights and saw the freshness. Then as this ex-curryer was also an ex-cyclesurgeon he managed to get me a tasty discount on a bowery. Quickly realised that riding a bowery ss made me look like a fool so sold for a profit and used cash to build cheaper, faster, older, lighter fixed gear bike and never looked back.
Although ss isn't really for me now it did help me make the jump from bmx to full size bikes, before the thought of a full size bike was kinda daunting, let alone fixed as well.
That and it makes you look cool, just like smoking.
