My road bike weighs less than my fixed anyway, the advantage is the mystical flywheel effect carrying you through the dead spots. Losing momentum is what'll kill any speed you have left when you hit the 20% climb near the top.
I'm into the Gulp though, will be interesting to see if I can get up there on fixed with my regular gearing after a few beers.
