Holy ****, $200 for a complete fixed gear? That's awesome. Wish I would have known about that a few months ago. Seriously, post pics!

what's that piece of phone cord wrapped around the top tube? please tell me that's not your lock.

if it is, i think i know what happened to your other bike.

same here. I might do the 2 Ulocks instead (2nd one front wheel to frame)... but I like haveing the cable for random lockups (tree, larger objects, etc). Also, my mini U fits around my rim and seat tube... with the crank between the bike and the pole (to protect paint). I don't understand why you wouldn't put the U around the wheel and at least a chain/seat stay.

If shipping within state is fast... you can't exactly blame nashbar for slowness of out of state stuff.... not like they are driving it themselves.

They're standard shipping uses FEDEX SMARTPOST, which is basically snail mail. They send the package by fedex ground to Post Office distribution center which finishes the delivery, as if fedex ground isn't slow enough. I ordered something from nashbar this Monday, and they didn't ship until today.

Oh and if anyone rides a 49CM, they have a few available for $133.99 before an extra 10% off

Make sure you tighten the fixed cog and lock ring when you get it, they're not as tight as they need to be from the factory.

I've got a Trek XO1 for workouts, etc. If you're looking for a bike just to ride and that you won't be spending a lot of money on to upgrade, I'd go for it. Just make sure to tighten the lockring if you're riding the fixed side. I was trying it out in my dorm hallway and the pedal slipped backwards a little, so I'm gonna wait till I go home this weekend and can get some biking tools to tighten it.
If you want any other pictures just let me know!
