This thing is so much fun to ride!
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
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
