Hello! Been in Japan for about a year, just bought my first non chari bike. I couriered for some years in Sydney about a decade ago, and have been using racers as transport since then. Just bought my first fixed gear from Riderz Cafe. I probably should have gone for a Fuji track, but my bike was cheap and it does the job. I'm a student so cheap is the way to go. Will probably commute from Matsudo to Ueno fairly regularly for uni. I'm not sold on the fixed gear yet; single speed is good, but I can probably whip around corners quicker on a freewheel. Running it fixed definitely makes me ride with greater consciousness for safety though. Will flip it back to frewheel in a few weeks and see how I feel. Looking for a bigger chainring to step it up, might also throw bullhorns on if someone can recommend a cheap option.
