Please don't buy this bike

Went to a bike swap meet in Orange County since I'm down here for a few days. Saw a stand for a company called "Backwards Circle" selling their very own "custom" fixed gear bikes.

Please don't buy these. Although the dropouts and curvy seat-tube may allude to quality, I assure you this bike is a heavy pos in person. The components are all scary, Chinese-made crunchers.

They had a 60cm complete bike for $300 there. Not worth it.

http://www.backwardcircle.com//aboutus.asp "This is the bike you've been waiting for" (Oh really?)




Soo many shoddy fixed gear bike companies sprouting up. Are there late night commercials with guides to "Start your very own bike company today with fixie bikes. Very popular!!"?
