Anyone know of any good stock bikes that fit this description? I would love to hear what you have to say. There look to be some pretty cool stock single speeds out there, but let her rip if you have any sage words of advice!!! Thanks a lot!!!

Marin Hamilton 29er is pretty much exactly what you are looking for.

• Under $500.
• Built sturdy like a mountain bike but lower rolling resistance like a roadie.
• Flip-flop hub so you can give Fixed a try.
