this zullo under discussion:

this potential fixed-gear :

http://ebay.com/<blah>

has a very steep seat-tube. I had not ridden something like that for a long time, then earlier this year I happened to ride a bike with that feature and it was disconcerting: you feel like you're perched up there, with weight thrown forward onto your hands and shoulders. Not very pleasant actually..although I hasten to add the bike on ebay looks very attractive, and if you like that sort of thing it's probably be quite satisfying. Wouldn't surprise me if it had a 75 degree seat-tube, or more, though.
