Andy, I know I have never met you and you may be different in real life, but you sound pretty full of it. 'It' being narrow minded and detractive to anyone's impression of you as an ambassador of cycling, let alone fixed specific riding.
I think when you move to LA, and maybe even spend some time in SF (although I am sure you have spent LOADS of time there already) you will realise that a lot of the people you mention, are ambassadors for both fixed and geared, and pretty fucking good at both too. You might even realise that to pretty much everyone your staunch anti-gears pro fixeh 'thing' is nothing short of anecdotal - although you are probably to committed to it to ever admit it.
Anyway, I'm sure you are going to come up with a superb and witty counter argument, and I am probably incorrect anyway. I think you should either enjoy the forum's evolution and many of the forum's world class fixed specific threads or do one and stop whining. See you in a month when I check back to see more fixeh pron and want to lust after deep crabonz and toight clearances.
