Fixie, but not really
 

Do bikes that look like fixies but are freewheel and have multiple gears exist?

I'm looking for a bike with the fixie aesthetic but works like a 'city bike' (with 7 gears).

Something with an internal gear hub is probably what you are looking for

Depends on what it is you like about the fixie aesthetic.
You'll need two brakes, so you won't be fooling anybody. Disc or rim.
You could go belt drive instead of chain.
But there are some cool looking ones:

Go to a bike shop and have them build you a wheel with that hub. Put in a brakeless bike and there you go.

Ok. I just searched around and thought I should elaborate.

If you're looking for gears while maintaining the appearance of a fixed gear, you're most likely looking for a coaster hub and a shift mechanism that either takes place internally in the hub or is "discretely" changed with some kind of lever on the handlebars.

You want a coaster hub because that will keep you from having to put on either disc or rim brake calipers, ruining your image and street credit. You could just ignore that and Ted-Shred around but that's really pushing this fixie aesthetic to the absurd.

You're going to need some kind of internal shifting mechanism. Really, you should just make up your mind and ride the bike that makes the most sense, be it a fixed gear or bike that conventionally shifts, but if you're adamant about this, internal shifting will kinda look like a single speed. I suggested a kickback hub since that will keep your frame options open and save you the aesthetic-defeating necessity of running cable.

Wear a helmet.

Remember when they used to sell fake iPhones so that people could pretend to be cool at the club?

So you want a single speed fixed gear, except not a fixed gear and not single speed.

Basically... he want a road bike.

Funny, I was thinking of putting swallow bars and a Brooks saddle to give my FG a city bike vibe.

Keeping the fixed cog though.

I remember when you could get a fake beeper, and people would use them to get out of boring meetings.

Guys, take it easy on OP. He was looking for the forum "Singlespeed & Fixed Gear--Sike!" and just ended up here by mistake.

Your thread title reads like one of those horribly obnoxious avril Lavigne songs from 10 years ago.

Don't be a h8r boi.

Get a wheel with a 2-speed SRAM Automatix. I've been riding mine most of the summer, a great setup.

You don't need more than 2 gears for 90% of where you want to ride.

S-A S3x.. First test of S/A S3X fixed gear 3-spd hub FWIW..

That's what I'm talking about.

Oh good, the Fred bike with the stupid backward handlebar made another appearance.

Along with assumptions about what someone else wants/needs on their bike.

Fixie, but yeah really, bikes are still cooler.

Says the person with zero experience riding it, judging only on how it looks.

Are you the same way with people?

Based on nearly 50 years of riding and working in a shop. Including extensive touring.

I’ve got enough experience to say that.

:popcorn

I suppose if a crazy old man walked up to me with his ass in the front proclaiming endlessly that it works better that way and I won't know until I try it, I'd think he's a kook too.

Dunno man. Front ass has worked for me for years.
