For some reason that frame looks big for your height though. What size is it?

I was at my local bar tonight and saw a couple of hipsters roll up on thier fixies. Fixies are pretty common in my neighborhood which I think is retarded because we have a bunch of decent sized hills. ie, riding around on a standard road double sucks.
What caught my attention is that they where running toe clips. As in the kind that you need to reach down and loosen as you come to a stop. Maybe that makes them hardcore but I think it makes them F'en stupid.

Were they fixies or SS with freehubs? The hipsters around here have bikes that fall into one of three categories...buildyourown said:
A) Fixie. They don't ride them. Just push.
B) SS with freehub...the lazy man's fixie.
C) Thrift store road bike from the late 70s.
Scratch the just push thing. They just push most of them.
I actually intend to use my Pista for what it was designed for, track riding.
It's not so bad. I was able to ride every hill in San Fransisco...it just took some effort.splat said:
That thing is so sweet. I love my track bike and have just as much fun riding it around as I do my mountain bike. The fixie hating is so old, seriously. I can understand making fun of people who just get one to look cool and push it around, but I don't know many people who do that. I <3 that track bikes. Have fun with that thing.
Not bashing the fixies...I'd love to have one. Just the hipsters with the push-bikes. 
That is really funny about all of the hipsters with fixies. Around here, it is the roadie crowd that has them (both old and young). They use them for their winter training rides. Something about you've got to have a 1000 miles on the fixie before you can get on your geared bike in the spring.
Nice ride
Reckon I'm just a F'en stupid hipster then, huh?buildyourown said:
