As another posted said, this is more of a townie/cruiser type bike. I like the look of a track style fork end, but I imagine finding those that also have rack/fender eyelets isn't as easy and inexpensive as plain old horizontal drops. I'd say this bike has a little bit of an identity crisis. The overall profile is that of a classic looking townie, but the straight blade fork, blue deep section rims, and white saddle make me think of a fixie. The linear pull brakes seem a little out of place either way you slice it. Some long-reach dual pivots would be nice looking, but the linear pulls probably help the bike meet its price point and certainly do a better job than a set of cheaper dual pivots would.
