It's been years but the first generation Big Block was maybe the heaviest riding bike I ever threw a leg over. Astounding really. The older Nature Boy was the same way.

They should have won awards for being so....bomber.

I looked at those and they have some cool features. But I was even cheaper and bought a used Raleigh with horizontal drop outs on Craigslist for 50 bucks. I had it powder coated and was still way under the cost of a big block. I do prefer road geometry over track for my fixie as I never ride it on a track. Oh and I am a sissy that needs brakes lol.
