Anyone here in to this fad? I had been in the market for a road bike but I saw an ad on craigslist I couldn't turn down for a nice fixed gear.

Basically some guy wanted to get rid of a bike he won in a competition, it hadn't even touched the road yet. Retail is somewhere around $700 and he gave it to me for $500. It's a specialized Boston Langster.

Took a ride or two to really get comfortable on it but I love it. I used to mountain bike quite a bit but I'd never really had much experience on road bikes before. First thing that amazed me was how light it was, and once I got used to riding without being able to coast (fixed gear, get it?) I really started enjoying it. It's like a rocket.

So yeah, anyone else have a fixie?
