Bob, Are there no fixed gear bikes for sale at the high-end shops in Charlotte? In the D.C. area that's where you see a large number of steel frames - even with steel forks. In fact, many of those bikes are as close to "keeper of the flame" as you're likely to find in an ordinary bike shop. Fred Rednor - Arlington, Virginia (USA)
