Are Republic bikes good quality?
 

the website seems awesome, you can customize your entire color scheme... but how is the quality of these bikes? I mean, they retail on the site for $394...

Thanks!

no

Who the hell cares about quality when you can pick the colors?!

please use the search function.
and they are high tensile steel =[
If you're just looking to look hip then its perfect!

My friend bought one without my knowledge... It arrived with a spray painted looking chain and mismatched hubs, and solid plastic grips... enough said.

A girl I know wants to get a fixed gear after riding mine and asked me about this company. I have no idea or knowledge except that I trust the guy at my LBS, who told me they were POS. Plastic chains, bad frames, just garbage.

plastic chains?

the frame is hi-ten steel, one grade above gas line. bikesdirect?ebay? repub bikes---->good for color schemes.
