37 years old and just got my first fixed gear.
Starting and stopping is taking a bit of getting used to on my busy commute – still having to use the brake too often. Going downhill isn’t as scary as I thought it would be, and going uphill is a lot more fun the I thought it would be.
Very happy with my colour choice though.

I dig that yellow frame, looks awesome.
What’s the ID on that frame if you don’t mind?
welcome! started relatively late too
and also fell in love with fixed climbing, it feels incredible.
you don’t have to ride brakeless or minimize the front brake! i use mine all the time with no regrets and leg brake just to trim speed. it still feels great, and doesn’t trigger my chronic knee injury.
great bike, enjoy it!
