a lot of fixies we see at the moment are just a fashion statement , but it creates a new style of cycling .

BMX and MTB were critcised too when they first appeared .

Totally agree. Like most coloured ano CNC stuff had no other purpose than to look "nice"?

That bike ain't my cup of tea but then neither was purple ano.....
 
Just because you can do it doesn't mean you should...

The only thing he didn't do was fit CX tyres on it.

Sorry, it just shouts pointless mongrel to me.
 
I completely agree: why mess with a nice old frame like that? You can see how much toeclip overlap there is from the picture, and I wonder how the very short headtube will hold up with the leverage exerted by that long stem and wide bars?

I think it's a real shame how classy old frames (esp steel racers with horizontal dropouts) have gone up in price so much, and how so many get butchered (brake/gear braze ons removed) by clueless hipsters.

The backlash starts here!!!
