I am sure about the heartbreak. I compete every time I scrounge for frames with the fixie infatuation.
One young lady, over on the east side, near campus, GAVE me her fixie. The scars had almost healed and she wanted it to GO - for a good cause. Nice Schwinn frame, too. She kept the component set, but I don't think she was going fixie again.
Cheers!
