Bob,
FWIW, I am using a 170. I should state that this fixie/SS is built up on a frame of identical geometry as my main, geared, unable-to-discuss-because-it's against-the-rules ride. :D I am using TA track pedals for a "little" extra clearance. This bike is definitely not for track, has brakes front and rear and is designed to give me a different ride/workout over generally the same East Tennessee terrain as I ride the other bike.
