Singlespeed & Fixed Gear - fixed gear like this? <500$

Been wanting a new fg for a while, and fkn Premium Rush inspired me to pull the trigger.

What's the best complete bike buy for <500? Most stuff at BD is out of stock.


Here's obviously my goal..I'm in FL

Oh my...29820983 threads wanting a cheap fixie beater just like in the movie, I can see it now.

You guys werent kidding, once Month End hit and the movie it would be the perfect storm of new "what 'fixie' should I buy".

It begins.

Why would you want a bike like that, it has no pedals. How could you even ride that thing?

Can't pedal, don't want to.

That makes it perfect for those leisurely walks to the coffee shop!

SO TRUE!

I hate getting wacked in the shin by my pedals.

You won't find anything close to what you posted for $500. That bike has pretty expensive parts on it. Cranks, BB, and saddle alone will run you over $500 if bought new.

EDIT: Frame and a fork alone is $500.

$1500 - $2000 build if all bought new.

What would you recommend for <500?

Something off bikesdirect. They should be restocking this fall according to various posts. If you're looking for a complete. Otherwise, most completes will be a few hundred more.

There is always used.

And always able to build your own with used parts.

Get a Raleigh rush hour. Strip the paint. Rattle can it white. Put a ****load of stickers on it. Will look the same.

And... It has Rush in the name so extra cred bro.

kilo tt pro? Seems to be the answer for these threads here .

I got some pedals I can sell you. They're pretty rad, tough plastic $80 (extra $15 if you want them pre-stickered).

Define "safe" - ambiguous questions, can't answer them.

is the `13 windsor hour a good choice for the money? Seems to be pitted against the kilo tt on these forums.

my WTH was a nice bike, I sold it because it was too small. It looked somewhat similar to the bike you posted.

Thats a good reason to not ride fixed gear. Any other things you don't do that we should care about?

That was the most incompetent spam post I've ever seen. (reported)
