Congrats! Couple tips for the new flavor: [saddle height and setback](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oE3XyTXUIxU) are paramount, and most often people set it too low.
Also.. looks like that’s a fully decorated flip-flop hub, if you’ve never tried fixed gear man there’s nothing like it. Maybe just flip to fixed for a week and see what you think by the end (honestly it’ll take like a day to stop feeling weird, and within a week you might be addicted lol).
Rotating weight is the most noticeable, so if you like the fixed gear you can save a lot of weight by ditching the freewheel. If you hate the fixed, you can save a little weight taking the cog off (but don’t judge too quick, and maybe visit r/fixedgearbicycle with any questions)

I went single speed and never looked back. It has given me a whole other level of enjoyment.
How do you like it so far?

Loving the colour. Nice choice. I love a bare minimum bike too. It’s how it should be. You’ll have a blast on that.
