I'd love to have a fixed, or even a SS, but round here would be purgatory without gears.

A few problems though:
1. It's close-ratio, so may not be enough for Cornish hills
2. It's not really in the spirit of fixed
3. It's expensive
4. Depending on how you view the challenges of riding fixed, bottom, middle or top gear may be in the wrong place (i.e. which one of the three is direct-drive)
