1 OTP. Needed to see if I liked riding fixed before spending time and money. Will build a custom bike at some point.
2 Changed drops for bull bars - more comfortable
Changed stem for 10 degree drop - have long monkey arms
Changed pedals to egg beaters - all my bikes have these
3 Aesthetics are less important than comfort, but I wouldn't hesitate to re-spray or replace a functional part for another, more visually pleasing one.
4 All changes were for comfort and practicality. Parts in my garage just in case.
5 Change wheels for some lighter, stronger ones. Nothing wrong with current wheels.
6 Riding fixed is a disease. The cure is more bikes.
