$$$$$337 postage on that Schwinn!

I've got a fixed with a front brake (for emergencies only now, but it was invaluble when I started).
I've also got a SS mtb set up as a commuter/bombing around town after a drink bike. This has two brakes (baddass red DX V-brakes!) and i set it up as a singlespeed first beacause it was cheaper than putting a whole groupset on (same reason I went fixed) and I'm too stingy to buy gears and all the stuff that goes with them.

The singlespeed is a lovely bike though, I've thought of putting gears on it to make it more practicle now but its so reliable, and so relaxing to ride, like a big cruiser or an even bigger bmx.
I'm a bit sh*t at hopping off things on my fixed too, and the SS does all this perfectly.

Riding it takes me back to bygone summer days, quiet roads, dry dusty jumps........
(i should really buy an old 24"bmx with loads of chrome and skinwall tyres but well I'm stingy)

I've never had anything stolen in the seven years or so that I've been commuting to the city but then no one wants a dirty blue singlespeed anyway, nor a dirtier peugeot conversion....
They seem to want either brand names or toys r us full sus bikes.....
