My First Fixie
I am thinking about ordering a bike from https://www.bigshotbikes.com/ .This would be my first fixie. I have never ridden before and i m not looking for the all pro expensive bike. I am wondering if this is a good bike for this price, they only coast $385 and look pretty cool. Is is a good choice?

You want a bike that won't break down on you. Get a simple Motobecane Track or Windsor the Hour on BD. Much better investment.

Buy a Motobecane Track in white and get a colorful Weinmann DP18 wheelset from Velomine. It'll run you a few $$ over $400 and be 100000x better.

It's a pretty dope bike, but I'm an advocator of tarck bikes. More fun when you make it your own with your own hands.

Seeing as how his name has "96" on the end it.... an educated guess is he's 14.
I bet he can't even triforce.

Oh and Nick, if you like it; buy it. The folks on here have made their suggestion. If THATS what you want it to look like, and you want it, just order it and ride out little homie.
