the reason i ride a fixed trick frame -
most of them have already been said....
i like the fact i can run my seat slammed, but still do all the sitting down and flat ground tricks
i love the small back end, again with slammed wheel making wheelies all that easier
i like the fact that mines still a beaut to commute on (67 gear inches)
being able to choose between wheel sizes is pretty sweet
its LIGHT
i adore the way it looks
the headtube angle is lovely and steep, making nose pivots/manuals easier
(my seat tube is 50cm, the toptube is 54.5, headtube angle is 74 i think)
i like the choice of parts available for it
and most importantly its fixed gear :)
im not arguing that any of these reasons are valid by the way, just explaining my reasons for picking mine over a mtb frame. end of rant :)
