Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

I kinda figured....I mean it makes sense to find one good deal, but he has a lot of bikes listed so I figured he is just taking advantage of the fixie craze selling crap to hipsters.

giant bowery for $350
That Giant Bowery would normally be worth worth $300, if sloping top tubes are your thing and it fits you. However, this guy seems like a shady huckster, so I think you'd do best to steer clean of clowns like this.

An easy way to tell is that all Specialized or Hed tri-spokes will have the valve on the drive side. If it's not on the drive side, then it's on backwards.

Dear seller of this bike:

1. Get over yourself and face reality.
2. Lower your price (again) to something reasonable.
3. Take some actual pictures of the bike without your DJ rig in the frame.
