    Your mad, don't sell it you will regret it. Class bike.
    Like you on a bike most days. Most of my hard spins are on mtb at moment, but there's something special about cycling a fixie, awful pleasant and simple, and mine is a cobbled together yoke. Had a lovely 50k spin this morning.

    Hope you get asking if you do sell. Lovely bike

    really nice color scheme going on there, 'tastefully done' which is sometimes lacking in 'fixies'!

    if youre not using it theres no point keeping it, but I'd give it more time as you might eventually love it

    I think you should keep that. It's too nice to sell.

    For really muddy CX races its great to have a second bike. I know its a single speed,but as a second(pit) bike it would be great!

    If it was my size, I'd take it! But I think you're mad to sell it! Having a nice, "tasteful" singlespeed is a rarity and something I hope to build when I get the whole race season expenditure out of the way!

    keep it and use it as a cx bike. them gears and deraileurs are just more things to get clogged up and broken on a cx bike. Im seriously considering going single speed cx for next year.

    You running it fixed yet? I ran mine ss for a year and a half before trying fixed, and wouldn't go back now!

    I ran it fixed for the first week, quickly realised I was playing with fire cycling through the city centre at rush hour, running it fixed with SPD-SL's. Much safer now that it's got a freewheel, though I do occasionally flip it back to fixed for solo spins that are uninterrupted by traffic lights.
