The moment I saw "fixie bikepacking" written as a joke by Bikesnob (whose writing I love), my first thought was: "You city people have got to get more imaginative than THAT! Out West we HAVE fixie-bikepacking. In the snow. One a Rivendell converted to horizontal dropouts. Wearing boiled wool and cotton fishnet." Truth is wilder and more interesting than fiction in almost every case.
I must admit that the Deacon's posts here were part of the nudge that motivated me to build a 26" fixed wheel for an unused Troll frame / front wheel / most parts I had lying around and assembled into something I'd be comfortable locking up anywhere. It's been really great riding fixed from time to time after briefly dabbling about 10 years ago.
