Drummondbikeslondon: Is this dude on crack?

I don't go for this 'good on him for making a buck' shit. If he was just tarting bikes up and selling them, then fair enough, but he's cynically exploiting people's interest in single speed/fixed bikes and abusing it. Nothing wrong with providing a quality product, but come on. Those kind of prices would get you a REALLY nice bike from the Fixed Gear London guys.

a Charge Plug, Specialised Langster (new york edition even), Bianchi Pista, Lemond Fillmore, Kona Paddy Wagon etc. those are much better alternated and what more - they come with warranty, come from chain bike shop (like Evans) that likely to offer a 1 year free tune-up or summat package

why the FUCK would I pay FIVE HUNDRED pound of my well-earned cash for a England football team mountain bike, I mean, MOUNTAIN bike, when I can use the money to paid for a proper track bike, no scratch that, a proper track frame and plenty of money left over to hand it in to a reputable bike shop that can built your dream bike for you.

Fixed Gear London can able to build you a good bike for £400, for £550, you'd get a really unique proper track bike from them.
