Is 8bar good? I've been seeing a a lot of 8bar builds on fixed gear gallery and I was wondering if they're good at all or if they're just another crappy hipster bike. Oh and I also saw a pic on fgg (fixed gear gallery) of this company called "Low bicycles". They're aluminum track frames that look positively RAD. I'm serious, they look awesome. But I care about the quality, not the glam; that's why I got a Kilo TT (which actually still looks pretty cool) over a bigsh**t (I also got a Mercier instead of a Bigshot because the bigshot sucks big time). Anyway, so I would probably never get a Low frame because they're like $1500 and because I'm not that into track racing. So yeah, can you tell me if Low and 8bar are good?

Are you going to ask about every brand you find on the internet? Lows have a relatively good reputation but they have ugly welds which prevents people from buying them.

yeah i probably will ask about every brand . That's good to know about Low bikes and I know about the bad welds and stuff. What about 8bar though?

I never heard of 8bar but looking at the website they seem like the aluminum bike equivalent of Bigshot
