i'm toying with the idea of fixed
42 / 16 or 69'' for the old skool amongst us.

Not sure that I'd have been able to face the descent fixed, even with the large Carradice saddlebag that I was carrying fully loaded for no clearly discernible reason.
Still, if you do take it on fixed and live to tell your grandchildren they will be well impressed, even if they aren't able to sit on your non-existent knees to hear the story.
Anyway, fingers crossed that the weather is better in just over 10 days time as the current icy sleet isn't the most pleasant to ride in.
