and the fixie craze has just about run its course anyway. There are bike factories in China pumping fixies out at a breakneck pace. It's over. I rode a fixed gear for most of my around town commuting back in the '70s and '80s. Didn't manage to start a fad though.
In general, I think they've stopped taking a hacksaw to vintage frames -- that peaked more than a year ago. Eric Keller Boalsburg, Pennsylvania USA
