No, I just mean it might affect the resale value.
Ok, but I doubt it. I would guess the buyer is looking for something cool, not focussed on regulations and roadworthiness.

I know I'm a bit late to this thread, but doesn't that make it illegal to ride on the road in the UK? As far as I know, there must be a stopping mechanism on each wheel (with pedal control on a fixed-wheel bike acceptable for the rear wheel).
That's my understanding as well.

Yes that is correct

If I was buying a fixed for road use I would walk away from an illegal bike, wouldn't touch it. I have a fixed and it has two brakes on it.

Unless you live in a flat area with no traffic, you're eventually going to run into something if you only have the fixed wheel. There are hills round here where even the strongest trackie couldn't stop a brakeless bike from running away out of control, and skip stops are only moderately effective, as well as ruining tyres very quickly.
