And why the CX shame? Come winter that's what I'll be on (fitted a rear guard last night)FCN 5 belt driven fixie for city bits
CAADX 105 beastie for bumpy bits
Litespeed L3 for Strava bits

Steel winter ie started todayRacing is rubbish you can\'t relax and enjoy it- because some bugger is always trying to get past.0 -
CX, I've got far more to be ashamed of. All year, can't afford two commuter bikes.

my fixed gear is clearly a road bike with a fixed gear and it is steel framed - I have voted as fixed but I consider it to be a road bike really as it has drops and a brake... the mountain bike comes out in the ice and snow but the weekend road bike never goes into work"I get paid to make other people suffer on my wheel, how good is that"

Well yes most fixed gear bikes are road bikes, and I suspect all of us have brakes on them. I can only think of a couple of instances of seeing people around London, on my commute, with a fixed gear and no brakes. Must be terrifying.- Genesis Croix de Fer

No they are not. Fixed gear/Single speed and Road bikes are different types of bike deserving their own section in a shop.Food Chain number = 4
A true scalp is not only overtaking someone but leaving them stopped at a set of lights. As you, who have clearly beaten the lights, pummels nothing but the open air ahead. ~ 'DondaddyD'. Player of the Unspoken Game0 -
Yes that's why I gave them separate poll options. My point was you have a "road" fixed gear / singlespeed and a "MTB" fixed gear / singlespeed.

MTB: http://www.on-one.co.uk/i/q/CBOOWHIPSS/on-one-carbon-whippet-single-speed
Obviously almost all of what we see on our commutes are the road versions.
Apart from the lack of gears there isn't much difference between a "road" SS/FG and a regular road bike, which was edhornby's point I think.- Genesis Croix de Fer
