the gold and the price tag makes it a little too "PIMP" for my taste.

Practicality and commuting are immaterial on a bike purchased to walk down the sidewalk as a fashion accessory.

What's really funny to me about that is the fact they didnt name one of the bikes after Portland.............ya know...........the city that sort of kick started the fixed craze...

If you have drops, then having the lever by the stem is really nice. Then again, when I ride on the road, my hands are pretty much on the stem at all times.

When in heavy traffic I want to be able to see anywhere from right in front of me to a block away so I'm riding on the tops, therefore the levers are right there if you need to make a quick stop.

Sorry midlife_xs, didn't mean to come off like a dick. Just seemed like more of the same argument.

Nice try, but you will never be free of this argument. It is the snake that eats its own tail.
