This is my primary bike right now, a hand-me-down from my dad. I decided to try riding a fixie, and I liked it. A lot. Enough that I haven't put the other parts back on - it was rocking a mix of Dura-Ace (brakes), 600 (front derailleur), Record (Shifters), and, strangely enough, an XT rear derailleur. The original rear wheel was the mate for the front, Dura-Ace and Mavic.
