  • I've been thinking about trying a fixed gear / single speed for a year or so and, after being given some money over the festive period and not knowing what to spend it on, I've decided to dip my toe by buying a cheap off-the-peg bike - it's the sort of bike I imagine 90% of you would turn your noses up at

    Many on here ride OTPs, me included. You'll soon want to swap out a good number of parts, but a lot of the frames at least are good value for money. Just don't go for the ultra-cheap end of the range, e.g. Creates, but you've probably already seen how strongly the forum advises against them.
