My craigslist is extremely ghetto... http://fresno.craigslist.org/bia/ So there is really no luck there unless I'm lucky. I'll look into the bike you recommended. But my needs are just to get some exercise during the summer, I won't really go fixie because, so weight is really no problem for me. Also on the amazon reviews for the Takara, they all seem to be happy. So I might aswell purchase it and then when I feel like I want to continue with singlespeed/fixie road bikes I may just blow all my money on something nice like a Raleigh. For now I am happy with POS as long as it's a nice POS xD.

I was looking at the Dawes SST but I am just unsure about it being worth 80 dollars more than the Takara, which I've seen good reviews elsewhere.
