There are better options for cheaper.

I grew up in Fullerton http://www.bikeforums.net/images/smilies/smile.gif I assume you are going to Cal State F. Im in Newport now.

Go to the city grounds in Costa Mesa, that would be the closest fixed gear/track focused shop i know of in the area.

thanks you got me looking at these bikes also and now Im looking at pure fix zycle and SE bikes but so far I think pure fix is what I might get since it has the flip flop hub

Damn near anything you buy is going to have a flip flop hub. Almost all of the BD offerings, which are better than pure fix and mostly cheaper too, will have a flip flop hub. A good majority of them will also have a fixed cog and freewheel included as well.

:lol:

Except for the ones that come with a flop flip hub.

Oh ****. I forgot about those ones. That could really mess up everything that guy was looking at. Its a whole new field of stuff to look into!

I never got it... Which one's the flop side?

The opposite of the flip side.

sorry Im new geez anyways Im decided to go with a SE draft lite this forum may have bigger smart asses then honda-tech

This is the equivalent of the "what catback....?" or "what CAI should I get?" it just gets old to the vets here.

There's a new "I NEED A FIXXXXIIEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!" thread every week from people that don't feel like doing a little reading. Only reason this got to a second page is the shameless 'supping. Speaking of which, where's Chelseaandannoy? Surprised he's not all over this.

:roflmao2:

Ha

I'm afraid the only way to really get the right bike and right fit is to have someone experienced go shopping with you for an entire weekend. So you'll need to fly one of us out to where you're at and let us crash at your place. Unfortunately, everyone here works and is unavailable this weekend. But I'm unemployed and live with my mom so I'm ready to go.

creeeeeeeeeeeeepy is in!

I can help take measurements for fit calc.

I had to do that like a month ago since my dad is a n00b. Its actually kind of enjoyable being able to spend an entire weekend riding different bikes, and geeking out talking to the people at my local shops.

Bike shopping is fun. Unfortunately, it's so rare to find someone who wants to do anything more than buy something quickly and move on with life. They don't understand... bikes==life!

Been there. This last time was a bit different though, because my dad was looking for a road bike that he's using to race in duathlons with. So he wanted something close to entry level, so that he could learn on and not care too much about wiping out or crashes in his first handful of races. He ended up getting a great deal on a Raleigh equipped with Shimano 105 for less than a specialized he was looking at that was equipped with Sora. Good times.

thanks! ive been lookin into Pure fix. a lot of people have been telling me about it

Pure fix is junk. I get that you're going for looks, but I'm pretty sure that even Big Shot is better than that. BD is still going to be your best bet for the money.

Np. If anything, there HQ is in Burbank, CA. You can probably go down and take a look at the bike and stuff they got, if you want.

But the Kilo TT's looks good. Might replace the PureFix for that.

I've been to their warehouse. Not the kind of stuff I would buy, but lots of shiny stuff and they don't seem too bad for the price.

For budget-conscious and quality, I recommend craigslist and patience. There are too many of these internet companies now slapping together fixed gear bikes out of the cheapest components and selling them for $300-$400.

I agree, don't fall victim to such companies (like I did). Research BikeForums for homework.

Wasn't JDM enough for ya brah? :lol:

It wasn't. That's why I have Centurion bikes- Japanese steel, brah!

Very nice, you know that red one looks like it'll fit me better. Can I has?
