    Hopefully some of you guy/girls can help me out.

    There was this guy on eBay selling fixies for 200quid a pop a while back in loads of colours.

    Supposedly they were 'imported from the USA'

    Now there's someone gumtree doing the same hustle.

    What i wanna know is has anyone bought these bikes? are they safe? is it too good to be true?

    ps. if you cant afford it now buy a cheap geared bike off gumtree and with the money you save
    on travel cards in 3 months you'll have enough for a £300 fix!

    You speak the truth sir.

    The travel card is the major reason for me buying a fixed!

    The week that i go without topping that damn thing up i'll be soo pleased.

    Roberto Mate don't do that, seriosuly. A friend of mine bought a bike from the US, and he spent like £90 of customs when the bike arrived in the UK.

    Plus the bike was shipped in 3 boxes (wheels, frame and parts) and shipping was like £100.

    In the end, he paid nearly £600 to have a rubbish bike!!!

    Bloody heck!

    Thats put me right off, haha.

    Gonna have to find something im starting to fiend for one way too hard!

    edmundane i'd say you better increase your budget to at least 150. don't really think there are any fixies for sale at the £50 mark and you probably can't get anything that's worth buying under 150 - need to fix many things up and replace parts and stuff.

    Thats what i didn't want to here, hahaha.

    Has anyone ordered from http://www.bikesdirect.com/products/windsor/thehour.htm before??

    They don't ship to the UK but there should be a way around it...

    Anyone?

    I'm new here so i don't know whether there's a section for this somewhere else.

    I was just wondering does anyone know of anyone selling a cheap 55/56 fixie for like 50 quid or something?

    I just need something to get used to the whole fixed gear thing.

    I was going to buy a Windsor The Hour from a US based store does anyone know anything about it?

    Thanks again,
    T
