Fixed Super Light Super Safe

I've been settled on 48:17 (74.1 GI) for years now. I dont attack the proper mountain roads on this (I have 41:26 for full on ascents). But I use my fixed for the most part, for out of town rides of 50 - 100 km. The word undulating doesnt even begin to describe the landscape up here.

IMHO its a matter of taste, and muscle type.

Monsters excluded ;)

Same goes for Eingang's friend. But yes it's absolutely a matter of taste.

Distance is definitely a factor as well though. I'm guessing if you were doing rides over a century you might be forced to rethink your gearing.
