Need help to choose a fixie bike.

Hello guys . What fixie brand or any shop's site would you recommend me in Europe? I can't really find anything. I would like something cheap as I'm new into fixies.My budget is around 250-280 Euros. I know you get what you pay for but I'm just a teen

Europe is a big place.
What country are you in?

If you are hoping to join the fixie crowd, be warned that they look down on anybody who buys a fixie, rather than making it themselves. The majority of fixies I've seen have been home-built.

I'd avoid calling the bike a "fixie" if you plan on joining the crowd too.

Yes, it seems as if they accept fixed gear or track bike a bit easier.
