Hey all, new here but have been lurking for a short time.
Newish rider from Essex.
Hadn't considered a fixed bike until recently.
I am not terribly strong and i suspect a fixed wheel bike would make me stronger and improve my pedalling technique.
Also i dont get out and cycle enough, party because of the crap weather recently, as i dont like to mess up my main bike so much and also it doesn't have (and i dont want) mudguards on it.
So it happens, suddenly i am interested in building/buying a fixie, use it as my bad weather/training bike.
Done a lot of reading over the past few weeks, considered building one but my lack of experience/knowledge might stop me. Considered the cheap no name bikes, but i suspect i would end up throwing half of it away and the resale potential is poor.
So i have decided i'll buy a decent second hand something, just haven't decided what yet.
Looking forward to some good discussions :)
