Opinions on Micargi?
Hey, I'm trying to build a fixie on a budget, and in the process I've come across a new Micargi for $320, RD-818.
Does anyone have an experience or knowledge about the quality of said bike? I understand I'm not asking for a lot for 320, but I was wondering if its even worth it to go for a bike that cheap, and if it reflects its cheap price tag.
Thanks.

Micargi bikes are bottom of the barrel POS. Everything is cheap! [strike]Probably[/strike] Most likely, made by children in China.
For that price you are better off getting a kilo tt which is lightyears better than a micargi in every possible way, for just a couple dollars more.
