Hi,
I'm looking to get myself a new ride for getting round London town but I want something thats gonna allow me to sit pretty upright and cruise around and maybe pop the odd hop off a curb and whatnot.
I currently ride a 24" cruiser with schwalbe slicks and a long-ass seat tube, its pretty fun but doesnt allow me to be totally comfortable while seated so i thought it might be time to upgrade to an adults bike : )
I test-rode a couple of standard singlespeeds: Fuji Track and something else I cant remember, both with drop downs etc. I found them to be too 'greyhound-like' for me, i guess I need something with a bit more beef, prob what Im looking for would be the ultimate pub bike, i just want something real easy, comfortable and fun to ride.
**Anyway, Ive seen a few of the fixed freestyle bikes on the net and like the look of them, just wondering how they handle in normal riding situations. **
Or if anyone else has any ideas of something I should try please shout!
Sam : )
