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)

Everybody likes new... but when it comes down to value you're better off finding something with a few miles on it. Bikes aren't too different from cars - the minute you roll out of the dealer you just lost at least a couple hundred bucks. You should patiently comb through craigslist, ebay and other fixies for sale sites and go test ride a few bikes. And unlike used cars, a well maintained used bike with nice wheels will ride just as smooth as new.

Here's a good post about finding the right fixie:
