I'm new and having similar quandaries as tombola, (apart from the thigh thing), basically I need to bite the bullet, stop being a pussy and get me a fixed wheel or flip flop. Only reservation is about getting off at the lights sharpish like, no-one seems to have answered that one, is it obvious somethnig needs to be sacrificed to have a high powered fixed wheel? A slow start? Is this also why fixers are more likely to cruise up to and then jump lights?
