testing the water
Hi all
Just starting to think about getting a single speed and was wondering if this cheap bike was a ok one to test the waters with?

Also for the UK readers, has anyone dealt with this company before?
Thanks in advance for your comments

I like how they give you the seat tube degree--
I like everything except those wheels--- not good for hard street mess. style riding--
otherwise good starter... cheers.... get familiar with real track bike geometry.

I believe there have been some other posts about the same bike available in the UK on ebay. I think one issue to keep in mind with that bike is that its made of high-tensile steel. It may be possible to find a better bike for around the same price made of a better material (such as double-butted Cro-moly), which can make for an overall lighter, more enjoyable ride.
