I watched a video of young guys making a fixie from an old Schwinn lol after weeks of trial and error they went out and bought a fixie rear wheel probably the same quality of my Pure Fix..they had hours and hours into this thing,,and it was adequate but waaaaaaaaaay more time and money than I have in my Pure Fix which I love. I am sure the worked over Schwinn weighs in at about 35 pounds lol.
Like I said I almost built my own outta 531 frame the guy wanted 175 for once done I am sure I was looking at 5 to 8 hundred bucks. I have about 20 bikes from a road bike to a mountain bike to single speed vintage Schwinns to Schwinn Spitfire 5 and cruiser 5 to 3 speed vintage schwinns I was intrigued by the fixie and the Pure Fix is perfect for me. I change bikes depending on the weather and the kind of riding I feel like doing I ride year long in Michigan at least 5 times a week sometimes 7 days a week.
I have experience repairing and refurbishing about 300 American made bikes. The Pure Fix surprised me, i thought it would be junk like a Kent or Magna,,but it is not,,,it was well worth the 160 I paid for it, I couldt be happier. All your crying about how they are junk doesnt change a thing lol
As I said, I'm not trying to be a pretentious dbag, but I have a special hate for purefix and anything like it. I wasn't willing to admit this, but before I had my Kilo TT, I wasted 300$ of my hard earned lawn mowing money on an "xray" purefix. It worked fine for about 3 weeks and then I started having rusting problems with the bottom bracket/bearings, headset, and spacers. Then, after I spent around 80$ on new parts, and one hour of my life gone because of repairing the piece of crap, I came outside one day to get my bike so I could bike to school, the whole top tube had a layer of rust laden upon it. I almost f**king tore my hair out. As of now, it's sitting in the corner of my garage, collecting dust and even more rust. That's 300$ down the drain and probably 5 hours of my life gone that I'll never get back. So again, I'm sorry for coming across as a jerk, but I obviously don't like these companies very much. They ripped me off and I didn't deserve it.
