I had a long response typed out last night and lost it!
Yes, I ride fixie! My boyfriend/coach who just did Furnace Creek 508 (yes...it's a 508 mile race!) on his FG (49/16) got me hooked recently. I'm currently riding his Pinarello Pista, but we're going to build a Milwaukee steel frame fixie for me eventually. My gearing is 46/17 right now.
Check out his website www.epictrain.com for lots of good info. He has a gear inch calculator there, here's the direct link to it... http://epictrain.com/files/Gear_Inch_Calculator.xls Play around with it and input your current gearing and the gearing that you're thinking of using (50/16) to see the variance in cadence at certain speeds.Last edited by Brandy; 10-17-2007 at 08:32 AM.

hm, if you don't want him to use the bike, i suggest you trick it out all in pink.
that might work.

I tried putting my pink and white seat on it, as well as my bright pink bell, nothing seems to work!! Unfortunately it's a slick black bike, so if you lose the pink it looks like a boy's bike.
It's still my baby
I'm still working on getting pics up
