Hi
I have just joined the site and I don't ride fixed........yet.
Brief background, riding for one year (except as a kid before you take the piss), do a relatively short 4 mile commute (rain or shine), ride a Cannondale Badboy on 700s with skinny tyres.
I have loved rediscovering two wheels but would like a more physically challenging daily ride. Fixed seems obvious choice. Thinking either new or nice old 70/80s bit of retro. Wouldn't mind fixing up something up a bit but no expert. Have got quite girly skinny pins so nothing too hardcore.
Any advice for a novice?
Thank you
