Got nothing to say abou a bike that bypasses a Retail Shop, because I never see them * You are on your own ..

*except the rare repair .. a frame and a bunch of parts on it = a bike. You may change the parts if you wish .
Good/Bad you can form your own opinion.



Pretty much Any frame with horizontal dropouts makes a suitable retrofit of an UGH wheel ..

( may have to spread old fixies that take 2 brakes)

One with Vertical dropouts will need a chain tensioner , but that is an easy to use Derailleur substitute*

* disabling a Rear Derailleur so as to have it stay over the 1 cog will work too.
