Hi!
I'm looking for a fixed gear bike for a short (~5ft6) guy, so supposedly around 50cm size?
Something with a decent frame (perhaps an old steel track one) and components would be great. If it has short flat/riser bars then all the better, and yes, it can't hurt if it looks alright...
Really not going for anything super fancy though - just something that can get up to good speed and will be fun to ride on a regular/daily basis, at a reasonable price.
If the bike can be picked up from the Cambridge area that'd be ideal, although I don't mind also getting the train a bit (e.g to central London) or having stuff posted if not too much hassle.
Cheers!
