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)

Bikes: Check the sig to find out

I would say ask why the fork was changed (was it crashed?) and ask to see pics of the tt and dt. If it is all good then that's a great deal. think: bianchi pista or this. you can't get c-rec and ssp on starter bikes

This.

And assuming it's undamaged, I'd buy that for $500.

yeah sounds like a steal, if the dude has the og fork then i would get that cause the wheel clearance on the stocker is amazing. worst comes to worst i think you could get most your money back after parting it

Bikes: Vitus, kilo tt

The top tube, dt, and ht all look fine. The bike already had the carbon fork on it when the present seller got the bike, so no fork

People have spent way more than $500 on much much worse bikes. I mean that crankset is probably worth around $200, wheels probably $200-350 if you parted them out. I'd say go for it, I doubt you'd lose money if you don't like it and sell it over again.

I decided to go for it, and I already love it. It's got so much more character then my kilo tt ! But I'll have to do something about the fork though.
