Since I purchased this off ebay in Jan.'05 I've slowly replaced every part except the seatpost! It's been used in several different configurations, but over the past year I've used it exclusively as a fixed gear bike, since I never really bothered to "switch" gears or use the freewheel. I wanted to make it as lightweight as possible but have the option of using a large front bag if I needed to carry stuff.
