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)

You can get a Fuji Track new for that price, so no.

I think Fair is too generous! A Schwinn conversion
with no components worth mentioning? $400 is a
rip-off.

Dude, the chain is gold! That makes it worth $500, at least.

Bikes: yes

i'd meet the seller face to face, say, "let's haggle," offer 300, and not really want to go higher than 350, but 400 isn't so bad - certainly wouldn't pay more. soma somax hubs are decent cartridge bearing hubs. plus you get a brake and road bars w/ hoods and drops, which should be pretty comfy. not a bad ride. if it fits you, of course. if it doesn't, no sense in buying it.
