I've been thinking about it for a long time. My 1984 Pinarello is a wonderful road bike, but has not fit into my plans as a geared bike for the past few years. As such it was a great candidate to get fixed, and that's what I did. My first long ride will be the 100 mile Ride to Montauk on June 19, 2010.I have taken to fixed gear riding for non hilly routes, with less than about 12% grades. So far, I have been OK on 50 and 70 mile trial rides. I will post a report of the Ride to Montauk.Thanks to The Fixed Gear Gallery for inspiration!
