Vikings?

Hi guys

I'm going fixed for the winter, and I mean for actual road riding, not just having a charge plug and riding to town on it. I've always been a bit of a penny pusher and I figured it would cost me ~£150 to make my old steel Triumph into a fixie, and that would be #£@%. I've been looking on t'internet and stumbled across these vikings, whi I know not to be a fantastic make, in fact they are also #£@%, but their fixie looks like all I need for a good winter trainer; heavy as shit, so do you reckon it would last me any time at all. I'd just like to stress that I know it aint gonna be lightweight, if I wanted my life to be easy I'd be using gears, I'm just sorta wondering, what could possibly go wrong?

Your balls could get stuck to the top tube on a cold day for starters.

Basically I'm not a 'hipster' I'm not gonna use it for town riding, this would be for 250 miles per week in the winter, knowhatimean?
