It might just be me, my lbs put the bike together with new bb and did all the work, they generally know what they are doing. The cranks arms are 165 mm, the chainring is an old 52 dr from a double.

I will prolly try the toe straps later on but i wear really big shoes.

I sort of hope that riding the fixed might improve my form and help strengthen my legs.

I think the combination of big front ring, shorter crank arms, and fixed are what's making it feel strange. I will just have to go ride the hell out of it this weekend and get back on it.
