A Cheap Fixie for a 50+

I haven't been on a fixie in 30 years so want to start simple. I loved spinning and have tried briefly. Still fun!

Central Florida resident and was thinking of a something around $200 maybe $250

Vilano EDGE Chromoly Fixed Gear / Single Speed Bike or even the Vilano Drift ?

Thoughts or recommendations.. not rich so under $250.

I'll upgrade the toe clips and little things after the fact.

Thanks

I never hold Vilanos in very high regard. There aren't many options at that budget. If you can expand it a little bit (~300), some of the Bikes Direct offerings might be good to consider. Otherwise, I'd advise you to start checking out the used market.
