I just found this weird.

that is sick though!

as much as it shames me to say it, that pretty much ticks all the boxes for mynextbike™

Looks brakeless & no foot retention, which isn't what I'd describe as "A fashionable bike that's ideal for cycling commuters*" as per their description.

*append "with a deathwish." to make this a better description.

Looks like it may be for fun tricks tho, for thems that do thats.

Fixie fixie fixie

I work at Halfords in the Bikehut and have yet to hear about this. We certainly haven't got them in our Liverpool store yet.

^ description says web only not stores

p.s. Reckon wouldn't be legal to sell in store as brakeless? (Given it's not a track bike)

brake in the spec. evans website did this last year on something fixed, removed the brake for pics only

its not worth 600 big ones

or 599.99 big ones either

God no, I'd happily pay 100£.

^ description says web only not stores)

That would be why then.

You can sell a bike without brakes on the condition that it's listed for off-road use only.

its a sick bike. - its the one Gus Mallet and Simon Gomok Andraca ride. and they kill it

Fantastic spec. Would happily buy that.

I guess it's decent considering it's complete. Not really too easy to find complete FGFS bikes especially 26". It's cool, not for me though...

Haha "FIXIE". I hate that word.

What Are Fixie Bikes?

Quite simply, a bike with just one gear, and no freewheel meaning it cannot coast. On a fixed wheel bike the sprocket is attached onto the rear hub, meaning the pedals are always in motion when the bicycle is moving

looks pretty decent for a halford bike lol.

dammit's brother's bike?

...or dammit's winter bike?

I think the pic was from Tour of Cali'. United Health Care team used Boardmans I think.

Just ordered a Bombtrack on Cycle2Work, wanted a P-Fix but these look almost as good... and actually available....

Has it arrived yet? Any good?

annoyingly i'm still waiting for the Letter of Collection from the bike2work scheme, will let you know, hopefully in a few days

Fianally picked up my Bombtrack, got it built and now its pissing down so not even ridden it yet!

Inital observations

1: the white rims seriously cheapened the look, they got painted black straight out the the box!

2: the bike come with a tiny shitty pivotal saddle, would be fine on a bmx when you never actually sit down but this need something bigger for me, chucked on an old Charge Bucket saddle for now...

^^ that looks the shit. I totally agree with you about the white wheels. Murdered black looks so much cleaner.

how much did it end up costing you?
