No brakes, only one gear ratio, no cupholders, no cargo space. You're crazy, you know. Those features more than pull their own weight through added safety, comfort, and versatility. Your bike is faster than my 24-speed road/utility bike, but only in a narrow range of speed and loads. I can turn at 100-120RPM at 5mph, up a hill, in traffic, whenever. I feel sorry for your knees.

How much weight do you save by going fixie, anyway?
