Fixed Gear Project Help
Hey everybody,
I was looking for some help with a school project that I have to do (Memorial University In Newfoundland). I have to do a report for an imaginary company of my choosing. I have chosen to do a bike courier company. The Idea is that I have been put in charge of buying a fleet of bicycles for this imaginary company (I know that this is not realistic but it was the only way that I could do this stupid thing on bikes). Since I have to buy a number of bikes, I thought it best to buy an off the shelf bike, rather than custom build each. I have chosen four fixed gear bikes and was wondering if you could all voice your opinions on any or all of them. If you have ridden any of them, if you know people that own them, what you like, what you hate etc... The four bikes that I have chosen to look at are:
1. Kona Paddywagon
2. Giant Bowery
3. Surly SteamRoller
4. NYC Bikes CityFixed
I appreciate anything that you guys could add. Any opinions that I use will be properly sited in the report.
Thanks;
Shawn
