Give us a report of how you like it after you've put a couple of hundred miles on it. I go back and forth with one of these: with loads, hills and winds all against me I tell myself I'll get something to gear me down, but then I meditate on sullying the purety of a fixed gear ...
I asked Phil once if they would make me a fixed hub that would accept 3 cogs, to give, say, 80", 70" and 60" gears, more or less. They will do that but the price quoted me some 5 years ago was $400. But a QR rear wheel with two or three cogs on the same side would be interesting, if expensive. The Surley Dingle is nice, but you are limited to 17 and 20 or 21.
