I'm new here, so hello!

Looking for a 53 or 54cm fixed gear bike, preferably with a steel frame unless you have something very special.. other than that open to suggestions so please send details of anything you may have! Budget is up to around £400 for the right bike, and I'd be looking to pick up this week/end if possible. Thanks!

True, thought i'd try this first though as it might turn up something interesting :) .. besides which I think they have sold out of all but langsters and I would prefer a steel frame.

Toyed with the idea of building my own but I think £400 would make that tricky unless I wait a few weeks for ebay bargains, and I want a bike sooner. My last bike was stolen (a blessing in disguise!) so now using my 26" wheeled tourer, which is great but a bit heavy for nipping about town on.

Formatting Help

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:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
