wow. thanks guys. thats loads of help.
(eeehhhh youre right)i will be honest and say i think couriering looks cool, fixed or free im not fussed about but im sure in time i will favour one. from reading that link i never knew how demanding couriering would be. non the less i wont let it put me off, i have popped up to brick lane bikes and i have put a deposit on a set up with one of their own frames that they will be selling soon. its a fixed wheel but it has a flip flop hub so after an initial mess around possible crash and your advise i will switch it to a free wheel. i already do deliveries at work and as ill be riding to work i can use it for that so i can build to my knowledge of the west end and get fit!
thanks again eeehhhh, punkpixel, the brick and winston. all of your info is a great help to me. step by step i shall go after having a tester ride on a fixed wheel. so alien but strangely addictive.
