these are things that happen with inexperience cheap or used parts and poor judgment

pedal strike, hub stripping, lock ring stripping, handle bar stem breakage, chain breakage, bb spindle breakage, axel breakage, fork breakage, pedal/ toeclip/ strap breakage to name a few

an ssfg is more simple with fewer factors but these factors have more gravity than in any other situation

brakes or no any of those things above are enough to cause a spill that could result in serious injury

Great thread thanks.

Hey guyz I have $700 bucks saved and I want to buy a complete fixie. What would guyz recommend me yo? Is the Surly Steam Roller and IRO Mark V the only way to go?

Flip flop hubs aren't necessarily fixed/free. They can be fixed/fixed or free/free. I'll also say that if someone has no idea what they're doing and ask question #2, they're probably better off at an LBS than the internet. That way we can afford the "My bike was just delivered is it too big/small for me?" threads.
