    Thanks guys.

    I'll be using the bike for a 20mile undulating commute in each direction, with a couple of not insubstantial lumps in it, so with the backpack on, and the fact i wont be able to change gear i was thinking the more weight i can save the better to a certain degree...

    Sorry, but very new to the ss world, but what weight is considered a heavy SS, and what bike weight would you aim for when building a bike? Or don't you guys really care how much the bike weighs?

    I'm shopping around for an OTP SS/fixed and am struggling to find weights on most of the specs online... Kinda like the Kona Band Wagon, the Felt District, and the Charge Plug, but can't find weights for any of them, other than people saying that the Charge is heavy, but no idea what that's compared to?

    Any thoughts on those bikes and advice on weights and things would be amazing!! So knew i can't even start my own thread!! :(

    Hi all.

    I'm very new to ss and fixed so be gentle. I've been road riding for years, but am really keen on getting a ss, so will be needing some advice coming up.

    Cheers.
