No, not getting a fixie. They are stupid and actually do more damage to your knees. Fuck that shit.
Road bikes aren't really for old men (plus I turn 25 this week) and the dirt jumper is sweet looking.

What brands of road bikes do you sell? We sell Specialized and Giant, and I've got to say that the Giant Defy series road bikes would make any old man comfortable. The Specialized are....more of a race-inspired bike, even the Secteur, which is supposed to be comfort-oriented but honestly does not compete with the Defy.
We have Specialized, Cannondale, Raleigh, and a few other brands down in our other stores.
Personally I am limited budget-wise, and will either be getting a Specialized (likely and Allez or Secteur) or a Cannondale.
I like that the Secteur is basically an Aluminum Roubaix, being a tad more upright than the Allez, which has similar Geometry to the Tarmac. If I could swing one of those I would. (Probably a Roubaix).
As to Giant, I won't get one, because we don't carry em.
