OK. Ive posted here once asking if the bike found at: http://www.bikesdirect.com/products/dawes/sst_al_carb.htm, is a good starter bike since this will be my first fixie/SS.
Although my friend said that I should build it from frame up, I said I wanted one ready to go since I didnt want to have a fully fledged track bike with absolutely no experience riding fixed gear.
Well, my only option is to buy from bikesdirect.
I need help as to what components are better, etc. Im looking at two bikes. One is the hour, which my friend has (its his temp bike- hes building one with a 3 lbs Leader frame =o).
Anyway, which bicycle would you say is the better deal?
Dawes SST AL, or the Windsor Hour?
Dawes: http://www.bikesdirect.com/products/dawes/sst_al_carb.htm
Windsor: http://bikesdirect.com/products/windsor/thehour.htm
btw- there is another bike from Windsor called the TimeLine.
Anyone have any input as to which bike I should purchase? Ive been doing research supposedly but still need help.
