I like the idea of having visible voting/rep only on mechanics and classifieds.
I also think you shouldn't think about offloading geared bike ads to another place purely because then you will have to police it and it will become a pain in the arse. It also makes no sense given that a lot of sales are off-topic anyway, and a lot of road bike parts (frames, cranks, bars etc) get used on fixed gear bikes.
As for the font, don't leave it to the browser to decide the size. Counter-intuitively it's bad for accessibility. Text is easiest to read in a smaller size with max-width columns of about 800px. Set it in the body at 80% or something then size everything else in Ems. You get it spot on for the majority of readers whilst still leaving everything resizeable.
Also do not just leave it to the user to change the font size in their browser. Give them an obvious interface - a slider at the top of the page or something.
