I remember back a year or so ago, someone posted a website to a cheap build it yourself company. If anyone has the url it would be greatly appreciated. Maybe help with some suggestions would be good too or talk me out of it. I live in a city and transferring into school this fall and will be taking the car off the road. thanks for the help

bless.

Why do you want a fixie you stupid idiot, about a year too late for that one.

With a normal bike you can coast..its faster.

yeah you're thinking of republic bike.

they have shit components though, please don't get one. there are tons of other companies that build legit cheap fixies, just without all the color and flashiness. get one of those and paint stuff yourself, or alternatively, built the bike up yourself from scratch, the way it was meant to be done

Fuck that, fixies are retarded especially for someone like this who has to ask on a ski website what type of bike to buy.

get a singlespeed or geared road bike, you won't look dumb walking your fixie up and down hills.

I'm sorry, do you know this kid? Maybe he lives in the midwest and doesn't have to deal with hills, maybe he's a boss and will just power up and down them regardless. The kid asked a simple question, he didn't ask you to come in here and judge him about what type of bike he wants.

Are you saying that "maintaining" a single speed is too difficult for you? Its a bike dude not rocket science. Fixies are retarded, no functionality whatsoever.

Personally couldn't ride a fixed gear but Surly makes a decent one for relatively little money.

Fixies were cool about 10 years ago when they were still a novelty among cyclists. They've blown up in the last 4 years and the trend is pretty much over. If you want to be trendy, get a BMX. They'll be really popular in 2-3 years.

If you want a practical mode of transportation, try to find an old 10 speed at a garage sale. I found a vintage Raleigh Gran Sport in my parents' basement that I've been riding for the past 3 years and love it. I replaced the drop bars with flats and upgraded the tires and it's easily the best bike I've ever had. It's fast, efficient, smooth, and looks great without being too flashy (aka a good candidate for bike theft).

Don't get a rebuplic... They are insanely shitty and you should just get something with less flash but performs better. Personally I love my bianchi track bike. Will get pics of it later
