Fixies and single-speeds look similar but they're very different. Tell us what you're after.

I think it's unfortunate that they're lumped together. I understand why, but they're more different than people seem to think. They're different ways to ride!

And can't you buy it with a flip-flop wheel so you can change your mind after purchase?

Will this be your only bike? What kind of riding do you expect to do? What kind of riding have you been doing recently? What's the terrain like where you are? What kind of condition are you in? Why are you considering SS or FG?
