    I'm doing 10 miles each way on a Trek 7.5 FX. It's coping relatively well with my ample frame. I had to have the back wheel replaced last year under warranty, as it kept popping spokes, but the replacement wheel has been fine since.

    FCN Fixie commute = 5

    I've got the 7.3, it will cope easily with an 16mile commute.
