[LEFT][LEFT]Dont buy one of these!
I've bought these shitty ToysRUs bikes in the past. They are the biggest waste of money! Products like these are directed at first time buyers that have no knowledge about bikes.
They are made of the cheapest materials possible and wont last you more than a month!
After the first few weeks the bottom bracket/ crank will start to creek and all the components will start getting out of line. Things will bend and snap off and you'll end up binning the whole thing.
Jokes aside from the earlier posts, do not purchase these types of bikes!
You'll only have to purchase a better bike in 1months time and be £200 out of pocket.
If your looking to get a cheap fixed gear try an 'off the peg' bike like a Fuji for £300. or you'll find 2nd hand Langsters on ebay/gumtree for £200. These are great bikes for starting out and they've got resale value if you decide that a fixed gear isnt for you or you want to upgrade.
