I am looking for a new fixie for cycling to college and learning tricks. As I am new to the fixed gear world, my friend suggested me to look at those cheaper “off-the-peg” fixies. My budget is around £500 ish-. and I am about 175cm tall.
After doing some researches, I am now choosing between:
Bianchi Pista Steel – £520
Fuji Track 2009 £399.99
SE lager £399.99
Charge Plug £499.99
Charge Plug Racer £537.99
They are all from evans(price are similar in other shops) except the Bianchi Pista.
I don't really like surly steamroller, but I quite like the Charge plug racer's chrome frame, has anybody ridden it yet?
I heard BLB is cool but I haven’t been to there yet. I saw the website offering a range of “off the peg” bikes, do you guys know any better choice that I can choose from? or shall I ask a shop to build one for me?
Thanks.
