Hey guys, I just bought a 2007 Motobecane Messenger, it should arrive today, can anyone tell me if I should start with the fixed gear or the freewheel first. I'm not a beginner at biking, I've ridden through manhattan, just never owned my own bike. If I could get some opinions on good upgrades, brands, anything to help me get started in this world that would be excellent. Ever since I rode through traffic in manhattan and crossed over the williamsburg bridge I've been in love with riding. Thanks, dthomp1231
