Fixed..

 Its been a little over a year since I've had my track bike. One speed, no derailleurs, 1 brake, skinny wheels and a bunch of stickers on it. Her name is Irony and there is a simple story behind it. When I got my first bike it was a road bike. Many people asked me if I was gonna make it into a "fixie". I hated the term. I hated everything about fixed-gear bikes. I hate colorful bikes taking over the streets with kids skidding crazily while I rode my bike on Critical Mass or other rides. After I got hit on my bike I got another rode bike. I didn't like it at first but after awhile i became in love with it. Sadly, It got stolen after having it for a few months. I was devastated. No bike, no money and no hope. In May, my parents get their tax returns and I didn't know this until my father one day mysteriously told me "Hey, lets go look at bikes". I was shocked but I went along with it. Not sure what was going on I searched through craigslist and eBay for bikes and stuff. I couldn't find a road bike due to the fact that they were over 300 dollars and my dad told me there was a limit. When I got home that day my mother told me they she got her tax return and I understood completely. After I asked a few friends about decent bikes for cheap I was left with one option. A Black Windsor Track bike for about 289. I sold some Bose headphones and I got some extra money. I ordered the bike and within a week *POOF* my new bicycle was finally at home. I bought it a Euro-Asia Superstar cog, some Profile Design T2 Wing base bars and a Dura-Ace lockring. From that day on I became fixed...
