I've been looking for where to get a fixie to accommodate the fatter tires but have not been having good luck. My friend said to search for "fgfs bikes" but I'm still coming up short because I'm not exactly sure what I'm looking for as I'm new to bikes in general.. anyone have any suggestions on where to buy what I'm looking for, or where to find parts to build it myself? Thanks for your help guys!
Can you ride your friends bike and see if you really like it? And/or write the name of his bike down and write the information on the tires down on a sheet of paper and post here.
