I just had a Goose Island IPA today; very good beer, but I wouldn't get on a fixie after one! I have only ridden a track bike (not on the roadways) so I am not a big fan of a fixie for standard use. I rebuilt a State Bicycle Co. fixie that I gave away as a gift, and while test riding (about 100yds), I about wiped out since I was not at all used to dealing with a quick stop and having the front brake with no maneuvering space while on a tight corner. No issue on a track with plenty of space and no obstacles. I do a rear wheel lift and pedal freeze to stop quick (on track), but I did not feel comfortable with this bike. I was happy to gift it to someone who wasn't used to any road cycling and apparently felt right at home on it.
Take care,
Jesper

Nice! I will have to try the IPA sometime for sure

How much were the Shimano pedals? I have yet to use any like that style; just the dual clip-ins.

I believe they list for roughly $80. I added the mini clips. My wife found them on varagesale locally for only $20 New in box. great deal
