Advice needed on buying a first fixed gear bike
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. P.S. I am around 5'10 and 65kg if that matters.
