Surly Steamroller owners...

I've decided that I'm going to buy a steamroller at the end of the month. I've only had a geared hybrid bike before and thought that its time to upgrade.

I've never ridden a fixed gear bike before so I would need to get some practice in before taking it out for longer rides.
Whatever you do, don't use straps. As soon as I went clipless the whole business of riding fixed became infinitely easier, smoother, more efficient (apart from the first day or so when I forgot I was clipped in when I stopped at a couple of lights - but I am a numpty).
