Pretty cool, I went with a black and red scheme, but I'm partial to having gears.

I'm partial to not having brakes. the wheels look much cleaner when they're not cut for brake pads.

I'm going to ask the dumbest question that will appear in this thread. I never rode a fixed gear, so if you don't have breaks, how do you stop?
Is it like an old school kids bike where you push backwards on the pedals?

a number of ways- resist the forward motion of the pedals, lock the cranks and skid stop, hop the back wheel and do short skips, but what mostly ends up happening is you adapt your riding so that you don't need to stop until the ride is over.
