First off I like to say hello. My name is Matt, and currently don't own a bike (sooo sad to say). I thought I'd join the forum so I could gain some knowledge. I have recently had an intrest in bike riding and I'm currently looking for a fixed gear bike, but have yet to find the one for me.

Welcome! There is a fixed gear forum here and the general cycling area may offer some basic tips etc.. Good luck on your search for your bike!

Welcome! I'll save you the hassle and tell you to check out the IRO Mark V and the Bianchi Pista. Other FG offerings include C'dale Capo, Specialized Langster, Lemond Fillmore, Kona Paddywagon and the ever popular conversion. Check out the SS/FG forum for more info, and a quick search will yield tons of info on the bikes listed.
