I went to my 2nd Cyclocross event today and it was a local one. I rode on my fixed and someone asked if i was entering, I laughed but they were serious.

I hadn't before because I couldn't afoard to buy another bike and the ones I have are TT and RR (without clearance) My clubmates who were racing thought that my fixed Pompino would be usable.

Does anyone else ride SS or fixed for Cyclocross?
If so, what kind of gearing is used?

    In the past I've ridden rough stuff on fixed and it's definitely not ideal. There are times when you want to free wheel with one pedal high to clear obstructions. Great fun, though, if you're not racing. Mind you, off-road on a trike is even more 'fun'.

    I hadn't planned on fiixed just SS. I think that it'd be ideal frame though as its light and easily balanced on the shoulders
