I have two bikes (really I have 4 bikes), a low trail touring bike, and a medium-high trail Quickbeam. They're both fixed, and usually run a 72" gear. They're both great bikes. The main difference seems to be that I can point my hips on the Quickbeam to turn the bike, and the Ross ignores input from behind the bars. Back to back (jump off the Quickbeam, leap onto the Ross), I've actually turned the bars the wrong direction to straighten the bike, leaving the driveway. I don't know what that was about, but after a "that was weird" moment, I just rode away happily. I wouldn't mind replacing the Ross with a Boulder, in order together a longer top tube (and a little more respect), but it isn't pressing. The Ross actually handles rough undulating gravel surprisingly well, but I don't take it into the woods like I do the Quickbeam.
