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)

Help! New to Fixed Gear Bikes!

Hi, I am new to Fixed Gear Bikes and I would like to buy a complete fixed gear bike for my commute to college. I have a budget of around $400 and like many teenagers these days, I want a flashy fixie. I want a bike that looks like the bike this guy is riding------------------------------https://www.fixedgeargallery.com/reviews/soma_everwear/index.htm-----------------------------

The only difference is that I want green rims and white wheels. Where would I go about finding a nice suitable bike with colors that I want without breaking my bank? I've heard people say that buying a Mercier Kilo TT or Windsor The Hour for good starting bikes but I have no idea what a "good" bike is. Can anyone help me? Thanks!
