Which single speed? [/reformed singlespeed and fixie geek]

Well-used LeMond Fillmore with flip/chopped bars. I pretty much never use the fixie side of the wheel. Too many hills. We did a 20 mile rails-to-trails ride.

Nice. A riding buddy hand a Fillmore. I had a generic Performance-branded chromoly fixie frame (SST something or other) I built up to be as simple as possible (front brake only, cowhorn bars, etc) and rode for a few years until I let myself get out of shape. Gearing was 46x17 IIRC. At my peak I did the Seagull Century on it. It was the rolling terrain of Eastern MD, but I still managed my fastest 100 miles ever at 4.5hrs. No way I could do that now.
I think the flywheel effect of a fixed drivetrain makes it easier to ride at speed for extended periods of time. I know my fixed rides tended to be faster than the same routes on a geared bike.
When I had a SS Mtb (Surly 1x1), I had a flipflop wheel with a fixie cog on the other side. Riding fixed offroad was a lot of fun on the more relaxed club rides. Log crossings weren't a problem as long as I saw them early enough to set up for them.
<Sigh> Now I want another fixed gear bike.

Clusterfrack what\'s that holster?
JMCK IWB 3 with DCC Monoblock clip. It's really nice. So much better than what I'd been using, and for less money.
