+1 Not sure how much unipacks go for, I think it's about £200 not sure though, I got my Langster for that price, and it's a fantastic bike, and for £200 it's a great bargain, as it's a pretty popular bike you can find out just about whatever you want about it if you're new to riding fixed (as I was) which is one downside of going for the conversion for your first fixed. Though as many people are more than happy to point out =P they aren't the most asthetically pleasing bikes, which I guess is why people go for the unipack. Hopefully if they do have a bad experience with them it'll make them want to upgrade rather than make them hate riding.
OTP FTW!
Like mmccarthy, I bought a cheap Langster 07 for £150. I've bought a second hand stem, handlebars, pedals and saddle and will change the wheels, powder coat the frame (I don't like the rust/brown colour) and add my own decals. Despite the slaughtering the bike has had from some quarters, I have to say that I've found the Langster to be a great first ss bike - I will be moving to fixed soon...
In a choice between a new Unipack and a 2/3 year old Langster with dodge wheels there is only one winner.
