What I'm saying, aidanceswithwolves, is that he's hardly gonna know what's good/bad fixed-wise on a first bike. No point laying down loads of cash before even riding one. Might not like it and decided to go ss? My suggestion - buy off the peg and ride it until it's fscked, flog it on ebay to hipster (not 'me', a tightjeanwearingtrendoid) and then buying something up-spec.
