  Cheers for all the advice guys, I ended up ordering the Halfords bike, it'll do as a beater for work just now, nothing fancy but it'll get me riding SS and it's got a flip flop hub so i can experiment with fixed.

  As for the Unipack/Create bikes - i've been riding MTB's for a few years to know, if the price is unbelievably good, then the bike is probably shite or on fire

  Hi

  I'm 6 foot, 32 inch inside leg, grossly fat and looking for my first bike. been mountain biking and eating pies for a few years but i'm getting sick of paying vast amounts of money of forks and brakes - and i've always loved fixies since i was aware they existed.

  So i'm looking at the SE lager at the moment (coz is cheap) but my heart say's buy the Halfords Carerra SS first (this one http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_551205_langId_-1_categoryId_165534 ) and save up for a much better bike (Surly, Soma, IRO etc)

  Any thoughts, i need to buy a bike fairly quick for my new job as I sold my car blah blah blah

  Cheers
