$214 + $130 for UPS shipping is still only 344 bucks (which is a great deal, IMO).

However, the site is based in Indonesia (which would explain the shipping), and it reeks slightly of a scam. I would be wary.
Ok, I just put a fake address and fake contact info into the site, and this is what I got:
Before submitting the order (do note the surprise $49 handling fee)
1..PNG
After submitting the order
2..PNG
My favorite part is the payment

$250 is an amazing deal for any fixed gear that's not from some brandless company.

If you are in the market for Madison's you may want to check out a few Performance Cycle shops. Here is CO the Westminster store has three 2009 models. If you call around you might get a pretty good deal on a brand new one. I seen to remember they were closeouts @ around $300/ $350.
By the way, if the guy/ company is legit, $250 is a steal and you should get it.

its all about the '07s.
i rode bike the drive downtown yesterday. got a few compliments on my maddy!
question: do you guys have trouble with chain tension? i set my cranks to one position and the chain will be barely too tight, but then i spin the cranks 1/2 revolution and my chain is floppier than an elephants... trunk. anyone else have this issue?

Sounds like you have an issue with your chainring. Maybe it's slightly warped or not centered properly on the crank?

Having trouble finding a 52t 110mm Chainring. Might have to buy a different rear cog if I want to keep my gearing and just get a small chain ring. 46-16 seems like the best bet.
Chainring would be much cheaper.

Alright, y'all, I need some help.
https://store.citygrounds.com/store/p...Madison-Black/
This 2009 Madison is $400 sans shipping, and I have the means to go pick it up in person and spare myself shipping fees. Two questions:
1. The website only stocks Large and Small. As a 32 inch inseam 5'10 guy, which will work out better for me? Or will either work?
2. Also, there are no brakes pictured, and I don't see mention of brakes in the description. Do stock Madisons come brakeless, or...
I really would like this, but a bad fit is a dealbreaker, obv. The brake situation, however, is no big deal.
