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 would love to know more about these, but not many reviews. They are too new, but they've made parts for years.
They are actually very good bikes for the money. I had one and it has a great plush ride quality. It doesnt feel like a true track bike because the geometry is fairly loose. Its also a fairly heavy bike coming in at above 22lbs I believe. The quality of the fyxation branded parts (seatpost, saddle, stem, bars, grips) are really amazing. They are great bars and super comfortable grips. Headset was on the low end side.

Thanks for the feedback. Fyxation makes some really cool looking bikes. I think I've come down on getting a Wabi Classic. It's in the same price range as Fyxation, but slightly lighter. Just have to pull together the money!

New SS help. Would like to spend less than $400

HiT, Cro , AL?

Any components that are must have it stay away from?

Do SS bikes measure different than road. In road I always thought I was 53cm. Just test road a 56cm big shot that felt right.

Suggestions for brands and sellers? Really want bullhorns and minimum 28c tires.

Thanks
