All these off the peg fixie/singlespeeds seem to all cost £400+ (charge plug etc)
is it just me or does that seem really poor value seeing as they have so few parts?
I mean a £420 off the peg bmx would blow away an equivalent fixie.
And the price of those unipack's is just plain scandalous.
They have the same quality as a viking/universal/python/ £80 (which wholesale at £15-£20) mountain bike. Take away the gears & suspension, it *should *work out a lot cheaper.
I was thinking of getting a touring bike and watching this on ebay, in the end I decided it was too big.
But check the condition & quality of bike you can get in the £350 ballpark
