Currently riding a crappy Schwinn Regent "track-ish" bike (track dropouts, anyway), running a nice easy 65 inch gear (46x19). Pulling the trigger soon an a Wabi Classic frameset to build into an all-rounder to try easy group rides (apparently lots of that on Chicago's North Shore), randonneur, and maybe a gravel race in MN this summer. Good times!

I'd forgotten how awesome riding fixed gear was...
Welcome back (to bikes). I'm new to fixed gear riding and enjoying it; mostly commuting but doing a bit of randonneuring. It's a hoot.

Cheers
