A Beginners Workhorse
It feels that I have read every article there is to read on buying a beginner fixie/singlespeed bike and I am tired of always hearing the same old Kilo TT answer. Its always "dont buy anything thats $400 or less or else its crap" kind of answer. So thats why I'm here to finally put my mind at ease and make my first purchase.
Since I am not allowed to get a proper job yet my budget is low, from the $200 - $300 price range. Its not a lot but its what my parents are willing to spend on a new bike. The reason I need this bike and especially a fixie is because I have broken just about every set of gears put in front of me. I easily put 20+ miles on my old bike a day and by the end of the school year I had put so much time and money into fixing the bikes gears it was costing me a whole other bike. I like to ride hard and really push myself and the bike to its limit, its just my riding style. I dont care if there is a hill or a car in front of me, I just wont slow down. So the bike needs to be reliable and functional. I would also like to have the option to later on upgrade parts and make the bike better but for now it just needs to stay in my pricerange.
So based on what I have said so far I would really appreciate it if you guys could help me make a final decision on what bike I should get. Thanks!
