Looking to buy a fixie! (Need Help)
For the longest time I have been a mountain bike rider. My Giant Boulder SE has carried me through everything but I am now looking for something new to take back to college. I ride about 20 miles a day and am looking for something that looks good and is reliable.
So far I have came across this bike https://www.amazon.com/Benotto-Track-...9066455&sr=8-6 and am intrigued.
What do you guys think, could you point me in a direction to get a good fixie in the $300 range?

Yeah I mainly want something suitable for commuting that looks good. I dont want to do any tricks, just something that will stand the test of time.
Edit: Those republic bikes look great btw, just the site I was looking for thanks! and if anyone has any other suggestions feel free to post.

It's really up to you and what bike you like, any of the BikesDirect bike will suit your need really.
Don't listen to others when you hear Big Shot, Republic, Sole, etc etc etc.

Go with bikesdirect.com for your first fixed gear. You can get an extremely generic yet reliable bike from them for cheap. Something that can take a beating from all the 'round town commuting but will look slick and be fun to ride.

Appreciate it guys. After research on this forum it seems like the Kilo TT is the unanimous choice. Im deciding between the Kilo TT and the Kilo TT Pro, is the 50 dollar upgrade worth it? As for the frame, im about 5'10'' 1/2 and have a 32' 1/2 length so would a 55cm frame be recommended? Im new to this, thanks.
