Damn this thread by the way, I think it has convinced me that I do in fact need to go the full whack and get some porn hubs (pun not intended) rather than Halo's. They look so shiny!
Haha man you know you won't be happy unless you get exactly what you want, this has a goldtec on the front atm, but i know for a fact i will end up buying a matching phil for the front when i can be bothered to build the wheel.
As for the drops, your right. I bought them after i saw Phil Cheng's bike, (terrible excuse i know) and now i wish i had gone for the 125's, never mind they do look great, and i do use them more when i don't have a bag on my back.
^^^^^^^^^ I recently switched my commuter back to Atacs after using clips and straps for the summer. I always forget quite how much difference they make to riding fixed. So much fun, and so much more power through the pedal stroke.
Yeah they are very good, i'm converted. Only downside is having to carry a spare pair of shoes if you are walking any distance, still worth it even then.
