Mine was delivered yesterday! Last night I thought i'd take it round the block brakeless... very bad idea, it was dark, icy, my first time fixed and on a 48/16 (and I live at the top of a small hill) !! A little scary. Put brake on today and did 45km on it! awesome. Only a couple of "trying to coast" incidents.
Normally ride a road bike with tri bars, so never use tops or drops... and now I can only use tops or drops. Still got on with it quite well, I was drafting a tractor at 30+ at one point :D
