anyone know anything about this bike? i dont see any dealers in the states, anyone seen them here or know how to get one here? thanks

It received favorable reviews in a recent issue of Cycling Plus, an excellent Brit cycling rag. Contact info and pricing appears in the article.

I read somewhere that they will be distributing at least one of the Fixie Inc. bike models in the USA soon. I can't remember the distributor/retailer or which model though.

that name will harm their buisness.

I've bought some parts from them. A stem and bars, great customer service. They are based in Turkey I believe. I had a problem with the stem, and received a replacement in a week. Great guys.

agreed, i read that same mag.

That's what I was thinking.

that looks totally hot... and pretty expensive

to anyone that ordered from them where are you located and how expensive was shipping. i gotta have that blackjack

Decals over clearcoat and I'd be all about one. They might as well have named their company HipsterBike or something.

If I may:

-The brake levers would look much better with matching hoods and silver levers.
-Those wheels. Are those powdercoated white or are my eyes playing tricks on me? Either way, silver box rims would be more in keeping with the overall style.
-No-name seatpost.
-Putting single-sided platform pedals on the bike without including clips and straps is just silly.
-I don't like lugged threadless stems, it's like the worst of both worlds. A regular quill stem would be much more theme-appropriate.
-135mm rear spacing? Come on.
-Rear brake cable routing looks messy without a braze-on to hold it down closer to the seatpost. Thank god the whole think comes right off.
-Overall, I wonder how much of the "Fixie Inc." are just polished/rebranded low-end components.

The bike looks good, at least at first, but the more I look at it the less I like it.

ehhh.. not impressed. the name really put a bad taste in my mouth right off the bat. do not want

This isn't as pretty, but it's also expensive, and the name is just as ridiculous. It's made in the USA though!

Marin Ignacio

Fine Corinthian Leather.... lol

Ignacio is a town in Marin county, California. That is where the name came from.

They name all of their bikes after areas around Marin, right? I'd forgotten about that, but it still sounds silly to me.
