Tomorrow.
The idea is becoming more and more attractive. I'll have to check out some shops and see if they have any bikes around to try.
When it comes to getting a single or fixed gear bike, given the simplicity of their design, it must be very simple to build one, right? Or is one (economically) better of buying one?
