I'm buying my first single speed and i would like to know our guy's opinion on the 2010 Fuji Feather Single-Speed Road Bike. I can't find any good reviews on it. I know its not an amazing bike, but I'm on a low budget and want to know if its a good value. It seems to be going for around $350. thanks

i helped my good friend pick out a new bike last year (after he got his bike, my first fixed gear!, stolen). we test rode 3 or 4 bikes. one of them was the fuji feather, another was a SE draft, another was a scattante americano, maybe a schwinn madison too? the draft and the scattante rode like total crap, the madison was nice but i think a bit out of his price range, and we both really liked the feather. that's what he ended up with.

things i like:
-threaded headset (i like the old-school quill look)
-no water bottle mounts (on his, at least)
-comes with a cog and a freewheel, i don't know too much about track completes but its cool you get both
-the wheels secure with these sleek rounded allen bolts, so you won't need a 15mm
-colored deep-section rims
-25c kendas

things i don't like:
-the drops it comes with are kinda weird

i think he got it for $450ish, if i needed another fixed for some reason and had $350, i'd definitely pick one up for myself. i'm not sure if he has a 2010 or a 2009 model, though...
