Oh yeah: It's a fixed gear, fixed hub, stiff hub, fixed wheel, please. Fixie puts one into drug culture wordage where I come from. If you're going to use bikes as they've been used for over100 years, try to keep a little tradition and observe the proprieties. Then you will keep us old geezers happy, your're doing your thing, and we're on your side.
Win-win-win.
I like it.
