So i've looked around and have scrounged together a budget of about 600 tops but the only bike that fits in the price range is a fuji track at bikes on wheels. i rode it and liked it but i have trouble buying a bike for full price after getting such a good deal on my kona. Anyway, i was wondering what your opinions are. Is the fuji a good ride for 570$(taxes in) or is there something better that im overlooking? or even better maybe someone in t. has a used fixie they wanna sell? or barter for a kona (sans rear wheel)? thanks for your time guys.
$570 is about as good a deal as you will find on a new, full bike. That being said the rear wheels on the Fuji's are craptastic so you may need to budget a few extra bucks for a replacement. Keep yer eye on Craigslist..there have been a few decent, reasonably priced fixies up there as of late.
