Hello I have recently become fascinated with fixed gears and am determined to acquire one soon. I am a complete newb to cycling and also in need of transportation after selling my car last semester.

I have been watching craigslist for the past few months but nothing really appealing has popped up. I have been told that it woulud be best (as a first bike) to get something older and used through craigslist and maybe convert it to a single speed and it would all be a nice learning experience.

Are there any places in Atlanta relatively near Georgia Tech that I could look at some used bikes? I would also like to know of any good bike shops that could help me get a bike converted to a fixie/single speed once I obtain one.

Thanks.
