I'm interested. It's the perfect size for me, at 5,10, and I think could be my first fixed gear bike! Been advised this would be better than an old steel framed conversion, for my small budget.
A couple of questions...
How much do you reckon the bike weighs in, as a whole?
Where would collection be from? (if not central london)
Would you be able to add into the purcahse a saddle, and some grips, IF you have any lying about, so I could easily ride it back a few miles to mine from from my nearest train station?
I'd add a front brake probably, as i've never ridden fixed wheel before... if you have a basic front brake, would you include it and/or fit it?
May be an obvious question which I think I know the answer to, but any old correct diameter flat/straight/slight-rise riser bars would fit, with a more conventional (not BMX-like) stem fitted, right?
Please excuse my lack or technical lingo!
Thanks,
Matt.
