I really would like to learn how to actually mess with some of the bike, so it's easier and more fun(AND I know what I'm doing if something goes wrong), with first hand learning with them showing me show/what I'm doing.
Also, since I'm graduating in a few days(yeah...I'm young haha), I'm getting a $300 boost from my mom to help pay for it. I'm really excited to get this bike. Any other tips you guys offer?
Go and test ride the madison and then go and test ride some other fixed gears to at that shop, other shops, and the used market if you can.
Get clips and straps.
You said you would be removing the brakes, I suggest keeping the front brake on the bike unless you just HAVE to do bar spins.
