OR just buy a bike that actually works and doesn't fall apart/damage the rider. Your arguments boggle the mind my friend.
Create made the bikes because they saw a niche in the market, in the past couple of years bikes have become cooler and riding a fixed gear is now considered to be a fashion icon. So what did Create do? built some shitty OK looking bikes for cheap and sold them for a lot, they aren't suppose work for a long time, just to look good. If someone wants to ride a fixed gear because they're just trying out new things a create isn't for them, but if they want one as a fashion accessory then go for it. What the people on the forum are saying is that the bikes are shite and shouldn't be ridden if your serious about cycling.
Deal with it.
