I am starting to look into buying a fixed gear since most people I know have one, and I've ridden them and are now used to them. I still consider myself a beginner because I don't know a lot about fixed gears, but I am wondering if anyone knows a good fixed gear to start out with. People told me to get one off of republic bikes or big shot bikes but i've heard mixed reviews about them. I do like the fact that they have sweet colors and all and I dig that but I really want to get a good fixed gear that has good parts and all. Any recommendations? Im 5'7 so just post whatever you think is best and thanks.
