Is it possible that the early wear on the cassette is from cross-chaining it, or does that just put more stress on the derailer?

My first "test ride"

I thought I'd share my limited first experience. I just rode to the bank, about a five minute round trip at most, after flipping to the fixed hub on my new single speed bike.

There's a 2008 San Jose for $550 near me, but only in 58cm. I'm 6'2.5" so maybe it'd be too small.
