A lot of the uk.rec.cycling guys are into fixed. It's the
salt they put on the roads over here - the less bike you
have, the less gets ruined!

Steel vs aluminum vs carbon vs bamboo?
Campy vs Shimano?
How/Why the old bikes were better/worse/the same?
Chain lubes? (Really, how could they *not* talk about such a

Then everyone in Illinois should ride a fixie. The rule
appears to be 1-inch snowfall = 1-inch road salt. 🙁
