Need help on deciding what to buy as a first ever ss/fg bike

Thank u guys, plz keep them coming

fuji track > all the above

I'd get a child's bike, to match your emotional development.

Why does it have to be fixed/ss?

Because I'd like to try them?

oh yeah, also UTFS and merge is on the way im sure

Fuji track is the winner.

apologies for this question as I am a complete noob when it comes to biking. there's lots of mixed opinions on the langster - that it's geometry is wrong. many say that it's a good value bike. but in reality how much of the 'geometry' of a track bike influences your riding on london roads?

Hello, my name is Michael and I am 14 years old. (Soon to be 15 in a months time). This might be a stupid reason to start this thread but I need some advice on my first fixed gear bike.

I have been riding my brother's fixed gear bike for about 3 months now and I think it is time for me to get my own for the (hopefully) wonderful British summer ahead. I am looking for something quite light (around 9kg or less) and a 54cm-57cm frame. I am just lookign for advice on a first time bike, most of the riding i would be doing will be less than 20 miles and i live around a hilly area.

Thank you for reading, any advice on buying a first fixed gear bike will be appreciated.

Probable first bit of advice would be to forget about weight. Assuming you weigh ~70kg, you are very unlikely to notice the difference between 9kg and 7kg once you start riding.

Common advice seems to be get the best frame you can (and one that fits!) as everything else will have to be replaced at some point. Lots of good second-hand bargains to be had on here, and other threads with people asking similar questions

Hmm.. yeah i weigh around 65kg. Thank you I will be searching for similar threads to mine.

If you have time, browse the classified as there are some bargains there . What's your budget like? Some OTP bikes are not too bad .

14 you say?

REALLY tight around less than 150. Yupp. That's right snottyotter.

14 you say?
Repped for grooming.

Nice.

Nice.

lol, thank you? Tbh i am interested in a fixed gear bike not for the 'AWSUMM' skiddz or the 'cool' aerospokes, i actually enjoy riding (especially on warm nights). And well, london public transport sucks balls, so a good way to get exercise, don't need to pay for transport AND the possibility of getting to my destination quicker.

Also i am around 5'10 and i have some pretty long arms.

Go on.

Go on.

Go on .. what?

I have some pretty long arms.

Nice

Nice

lool, thank you..?
