"Should I go fixie" is something that you yourself can answer, not us. God sorry I'm just upset, seriously use google and we have a newb thread for a reason!

You might not have thought those questions were stupid when you posted them, but plenty of other people did. Nobody elected you hero of the forum. You've posted dumb crap, I've posted dumb crap, as have many other members. I think you're the one who needs to articulate better, because you're coming off like an ass.
To the OP: If you're considering riding fixed, you might be better served by borrowing a friend's bike/wheel for a week or so. Get a feel for it before plunking down the cash.
