Pretty cool bike indeed-- Good to see Redline sending out bikes to have you guys test! Fixed gear is a great "feature" to see coming back into off-the-shelf bikes I saw this cool bike at a dealer in Santa Cruz..

It's so cool how you could easily change it from a fixed gear to a free-wheel. That’s a sharp looking bike! It’s so cool how you could easily change it from a fixed gear to a free-wheel.

I've been considering a fixed gear for commuting for a while now, primarily the Raleigh Rush Hour. But this looks awesome! I can't wait to hear more about it. :-O
