NYCbikes

So I must say that the JohnDeer cityfixed NYC bike is a looker but I've never heard of the durability and handling of the bike. Any pros or cons out there.

You'll get more than enough information on the subject, very little of it good.

yeah, so the info doesn't fair well even in the wee hours of the night. I noticed that you linked to the Pake fixed. This frame has been recogmended to me and I must say I'm interested; regardless of the boring, simple black color. Could you recogmend an online site to buy?

Online site?
I don't know of any.

When I went looking for one I just went through the Soma dealer list on their website until I found one.
I know Revolution Cycles in Madison, WI has a couple.
There out there. Just gotta search.
Nothing special but a solid ride that I love.
I'd recommand it to anyone.

And the black is sexy.
