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)

$400 Fixed Gear / Single Speed

I want to try out the Fixed/SS world for a while and want to get a bike.

For no more than $400, what would you recommend? New or used.

The local CL isn't great and seems to be way over priced. I'm not a component snob...I just want a nice riding bike for tooling around town.

I don't own a Kilo TT, but I know there are some big fans of this bike for the price. Scroll down, they have their own thread. There's a lot of crap in the fg/ss selection for that price ceiling. You may not be concerned about components, but a good lock ring will make your life a lot safer.
