Hey there folks...brand new to the board.

I'm looking at purchasing a new Single Speed bike to use for inner city travel instead of my MTB. I like the styling & simplicity of SS bikes, but don't know a whole lot about them, or which ones are better than others.

I've been doing some online research, as well as visiting a few local shops, and I have come up with a list of bikes that have caught my eye. Would love if some more knowledgeable folks could let me know if any these bikes are good/bad, and perhaps maybe some suggestions as to what else out there might fall into the same category. I do know a couple things - I don't want drop bars (prefer flat or risers) and I definitely want a freewheel rear hub.

Here's what I've come across so far:

• Globe Roll 2
• Masi Fixed LTD / Riser / Flat / Uno
• Felt Brougham / Gridloc
• Scott Sub 45
• Norco Spade / Heart
• Bianchi Pista
• Kromica Shadow / Beetle
• State (pretty much every model)
• Haro Objekt
• Trek 5th District / Soho S
• Marin Dominican / Inverness
