  38c wont fit. It comes with 25c so 28c might do. Wear out the stock tyres while deciding how you like them.

  Then maybe some 28mm duranos.

  I'd add checking the seatpost isn't stuck.

  Everything else can be replaced/fixed.

  Not really. Its a pretty simple bike.

  Just cheack for any signs of a crash. Turn anthing, that shoud turn, to cheak bearings. Wiggle stuff that should'nt move, to check for wear. Plus maybe take a spanner to the rear axle bolts to check they thread OK. Can be a real weak spot with cheap wheels, if the wheels been moved alot.

  Cheers guys, hoping to get hold of it friday if all goes well. Just one other thing, I might have to deal with a bit of gravel track from time to time and there are some pretty bad road surfaces round here, what are the thoughts on increasing tyre sizes? Is a 38c a bit over the top? Just want to set it up right from the word go. Thanks

  What he said.

  Thanks guys, had a feeling that might be the general opinion. Is there anything I need to be careful of when checking it over before I part with my hard earned?

  Hi, New today and looking for some advice on a first fixie. I have the chance of buying a Charge plug racer, Fuji Feather, or a Mongoose Maurice, all second hand and at an affordable price.
  Just wondering if any of you might be able to assist in making my decision or recommend something suitable. Thanks.
