I just bought my first fixed, a Dolan Pre Cursa, and I've been using it for both commuting and for fun, loving it so far.
I'm wondering if there are any concerns regarding using it for commuting and stuff, seeing as it's a track bike, inteded for indoor use. I'm riding it mostly stock so far. I'm wondering if I should take more precausions regarding rain/dust/dirt than with a "normal" bike.
Also, how will the frame and wheels hold up for normal city riding? I have a lot of cobblestone and curbs on my way to school, and I'm wondering how careful i need to be..
So far I've really been babying it. I'm not talking about doing tricks and riding down stairs and stuff, but just basic city riding, up and down curbs etc..
Any thoughts/experiences?
