Hey guys,

I'm incredibly new to the whole fixie and bike scene and prior to a month ago didn't even know what a fixie was. I just started at a new university and was walking to class one day and saw a really clean matte black looking bike, I looked into and it turned out to be a fixie. After spending a couple weeks walking around campus and to and from class I have decided to get me a bike. I really enjoy the way the fixies look and think it'd be a blast to ride around campus and such.

I have done a little bit of research but it seems everywhere I look there's a different opinion. I have seen around campus the: Retrospec - Mantra, Pure Fix - Juliet, and The Windsor - Hour to name the ones that really stood out to me. I initially started off looking at solely the retrospec, then added the pure fix, then read about the windsor (before seeing it), and finally stumbled upon the motobecane - Record and Track (havent seen one in person). I think these are the top choices because I would prefer to spend under $400 bucks. I've read goo dand bad about all of these but figure that asking people who know would be better than attempting to find reviews. So if you guys can lend me any tips or suggestions as to which bike of these are decent or not I would really appreciate it. I understand these are not the top of the line or even really close, but as I am a student on a student budget I'd prefer to not spend an absurd amount. Thanks for any help.
