The only weird thing for me was the fixed gearing (I got a 28" granny bike so I know how big bikes feel). Also for tricks the big frame and wheels aren't holding me back at all. The fixed gearing does, but I still rather ride this fixed It's weird but a lot of fun and very challenging Also for many tricks fixed is good, for example you don't need a brake for wheelies, you can keep speed while doing fakies etc. The only thing was the first time I bailed hopping up a ledge, I jumped off and wanted to put my feet on the ledge. Than I found out my bike was longer than my legs and almost got raped by my seat
Hell no! The wheels are strong and I love the color. And I love the pc flat pedals. I don't need straps because I do tricks on it all the time. For speed I'd agree with you but I built this as a commuter bike on which I can do tricks while commuting although I got addicted to it and I'm popping so much bunny bars, wheelie combos with many barspins, fakies, 180s and 3s on it all the time
