Thanks for coming to my defense, but I guess I could just drive around in my SUV trying to run down fixed gear riders since I don't belong on a bike...HAHAHA!
Basically, I'm running 42x16 b/c the 42 came with the crankset and rather than spend more $ up front I can cruise around for a while and decide later what I want to run.
Plus, there are no long stretches of flat anywhere near me. In addition to that, this is the first time I've been on a bike (except a 1/2 mile loop of the block) since September when I got hit by a car on my roadie.
Yes, my legs were a bit shocked.

Oh yeah, I have a front brake as well, I guess I'm a wuss.
