Yeah, it looks great as a fixie. Great job man! But as a fixie rider I do recommend a front brake for a few reasons, but it can still look good too. Heres a couple examples from the fixedgeargallery



Its just easier on the knees and and you wont have to change your pants if the pickup truck in front of you (who hugs the curb so you cant pass him at red lights) slams on the brakes to pull into the burger king. And also, sometimes chains break, it is possible for them to fall off, then how ya gonna stop? It happened to me before, i dont remember how I stopped...

I dont want you to mess up that sweet looking bike, or for you to get messed up
