How can you say that? You might be all about the spirit of early cycling, but have a look around you; there are people riding FGSS for many reasons which have nothing to do with history and heritage. I'm actually one of the ones who is somewhat influenced by a sense of heritage, as I time trial on fixed just like they did in the olden days, but most of the whippersnappers on here think fixed was invented in 2007, so their sense of the "spirit of early cycling" probably means they can just about remember when road bikes only had 9 sprockets.
