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 want to get a fixie but i do not want to spend that much money on a bike because this is going to be my first fixie. please leave me a link to the bike and dont leave bikes with poor quality. the budget i have is 300-500 dollars.

I would check your local craigslist listings for a used bike. You can probably snag a nice leader, built up kilo, etc. What is the general area where you live?

You've started a few other threads asking pretty much the same question.

Here's hoping this one gets you the answer you're looking for. I'm not holding my breath.
