Tbf though a lot of what messenger fixie riders do, does make sense for city commuting as well.

That picture is wrong. They forgot the mismatched wheels or aerospoke front.

Quite like the idea of that one, the lockring remover was the thing I was wondering about as I may need to experiment until I get the right gearing for my unique riding style
