So i'm in the market for a road bike to make a fixed gear, heres three I found, The Peugeot is 175$ but I don't think i'd pay for it in that condition. Benotto is best offer I guess and Nishiki is 80$

They are all three different sizes. Which one would fit you best?

The problem is none of the sellers listed the sizes lol so I emailed them, A 20" I belive is my size.

IMO I would go for the Benotto but that is really just an opinion. I think the Nishiki looks like a large frame.

+1, I'd look at the Benotto and the Nishiki. If the Benotto is under $100, then it would be between those two. IMHO the Peugeot is overpriced.

I picked a bike, I picked a Peugeot, it's none of the ones in picture but it was in really good shape and it's blue! I ripped alot of the parts and replaced crank and rear wheel so far.

I would def go with the Nishiki if your going to be converting it...

Fixed gears strain the frame a lot that Benotto is one prone to fail.
