Hi all,
I've just joined the LFGSS forum and I'm also new to the fixed gear scene.
Not quite sure if this question had been asked before and I've searched for it in the forum but haven't been successful finding anything relating to the topic.
I just wanted to know which fixed gear/single gear brands and models would you recommend for beginners to start off with and where you'd recommend purchasing them from?
I had a look at State Bicycle co as I've seen videos of them in the red hook crit as well as unboxings on youtube and I've taken an attraction to the matte black 5 model.
But I wanted to know the opinions of others who are already more experienced in the hobby who can suggest a good benchmark to start off with.
I have a budget of £400 and open to suggestions.
Hopefully this discussion helps other beginners like myself.
Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.
Tips:
Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----
To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word
To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word
Embed images by entering: ![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png) That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.
* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks
1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:
```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
