Jamis Sputnik

What they say:
"For short, no-nonsense hops there’s the Sputnik—an entirely different animal of the fixed-gear variety. This is simplified travel, stripped down to a 46x16-tooth gearset, genuine investment cast track dropouts, and carbon fork. The hybrid flip-flop rear hub can take a track cog on one side and a single-speed freewheel on the other for versatility that doesn’t violate its simplified persona."

I bought my Sputnik about a
I bought my Sputnik about a month ago. I have last years model though, so it's a 48x16 and doesn't have the Easton logo on the fork, but I said "sold!" after 1 minute in the parking lot of the LBS. My first fixie. Love it to death. I put some long miles on it too. Love love love love love it.
I really love the Jamis
I really love the Jamis Sputnik. Test riding this bike at my local bike shop was the reason I started riding fixed gear. In the end I chose to convert an old 10 speed but part of me still wishes I bought the Sputnik. It rivals the Bianchi Pista for looks and speed, and for not a lot more money. Best part, you don't see half as many of these on the streets, as the ubiquitous Pista.
The carbon fork is a big plus to balance the stiffness of the frame.
