Thanks I'll have a look at a bowrey.

When I say learn to ride fixed I mean get used to. Maybe I'll find it easy but as I'm commuting on this bike I don't fancy getting thrown off under a car if I forget to keep pedalling when slowing down when still half asleep in the morning - hence rear brakes to start with!

I know enough to know they unipacks are shite!

Would like a Fuji but can't afford a new one and in any case would still have to add brakes etc, hence a 2nd hand fixie that has been fettled is preferable.

Can I ask why everyone on here hates the langster - is it just its looks or the fact its by a mainstream manufacturer or are there a number or issues / faults?

Looking for my first single speed bike.

Ideally after something that is relatively sorted with at least:

• 52-55cm frame (i'm 5'9" with short-ish legs!)
  
• a front brake, ideally rear too (whilst i learn to ride fixed)
  
• a flip flop hub with freewheel on one side
  
• Track frame or track style (ideally with clearance for clip on mudguards as will be commuting on it in a suit!)
  
• reasonable wheels and tyres (again ideally large flange hubs and deep rims for strength)
  
• Bull horn bars (not essential but prefer those or drops with brakes mounted on ends or drops - i'm coming from a road bike)
  All for £200 - may be a tall order but would welcome any advice
  

is the fuji still for sale and has it come down to a more sensible price as would be interested.

good - at least i'm starting to be able to spot crap from mediocre!

has anyone heard of Create bikes?

Is this any good? - I'm new to fixed gear cycling and want a cheap entry bike - is this a waste of money and would i be better to build up one myself from components?

Thanks
