I think it depend what you expect from it. If you expect a top notch bike then it is crap if you expect a biking equivalent of a weekend taster course it seem fine. I have a very ***** frame as a basis for my convertion but I am using it while I save up for desent parts (that take me a long time so I would rather have a **** fixie than no fixie) and slowly transform it. I have made up so nice ish wheels have some clipless peadels next thing will be crank set, then I can start looking for an appropate frame + fork. it's not the destanation it's the journey. Well I will enjoy the destnation when I get there!
