My new whip
What are your thoughts this bad boi.
I am getting used to riding fixed from a single speed.
I am only riding it on a track by my house until I learn to skid.
Taking it slow and loving it so far

That's a really sharp looking bike. But, what you want to learn how to do is brake w/o skidding, because you will stop faster that way. I've ridden and raced on velodromes for over 40 years, and I never rode a track bike on the street w/o a front brake. This has saved my bacon more than once.

It looks really cool. I like the bar tape and all the black accents. New fixed gear guy here myself. Getting skidding down pat was a lot easier for me on polished concrete floors (in a big workshop). Enjoy the ride, man
