I'd like to try fixed, but i haven't got any hipster mates.
let's not derail this thread, guys.

Then build up a cheap fixed wheel bicycle, call it a 'training' bike, after all that what the pro tend to use, especially in the winter.

grab an old shitty steel bike, spend money on a good fixed wheel, and then sort it out, the cheapest the better.

ride as much as possible, you'll eventually understand why some of us actually prefer (myself included) to ride fixed on a century ride than a geared bicycle (but then it is a personal choice).
