Could you ride this around daily?! I would most likely have brakes and not fixed. After doing some research online i was looking at Langsters and nearly bought one on eBay but outbid at the last second! I would love to build my own with a bit of help. Any suggestions on parts etc to buy would be appreciated!
I'd throw some brakes on there (a front and maybe a rear until you get used to it) but yeah, totally. I ride my fixed gear as a city commuter every day and it's a heap of fun. Makes me want to go places, just so I can actually GO there by bike, even if those places are work-related...
You can do longer rides too. I met a guy yesterday who is planning to ride from Kyoto to Tokyo over 7 days with some friends (starting today). That's been done before, too. Touring isn't just for roadies!
