it got my heart going mike i can tell you that, the main problem was , back in the early 90's i rode a fixed for training in the winter and rode on the track so was use to swapping from bike to bike, these days i find it hard adjusting from my usual bikes to a fixed, so it had to go,

they climb great mike, but yes going down is a little hairy, i lived in watford before moving down here 10 years ago, it was flatter there, although some places in the sticks was hilly, you have to use the strength in your legs to control the speed, you can lock up the back wheel pretty easy, plus great for track stands at lights rocking back and forth,
