These are what I ride mostly everyday. Being in Chicago where it's virtually flat everywhere you turn, fixed gears are very popular. They are lovely to ride, and its my preferred way, besides my old rats. This particular bike is an IRO Angus, they are based out of the east coast. It has a little bit more relaxed track geometry so I dont get toe overlap (this is when you turn your wheel and your pedal is forward and you hit your toes on the tire). Anyways....enjoy!
The angle seems a bit severe, but this is a true velodrome set up I have it in. I alternate between short little riser bars and a much less of a drop stem for everyday riding, but it's just very classy looking this way. Here's a picture of my bike, and my girlfriends bike, which I built up for her birthday. It's a single speed coaster brake using a vintage Bendix 70 hub and modern parts everywhere else. It's a great bike to ride, the frame is an 82 Scwhinn LeTour.

But yeah, hers is a reflection of her personality, very fun, bright and vibrant.
