I'm looking to buy my first single-speed this month and it was suggested here that I should check out a couple that I liked the look of and then ask for any comments on which one might be recommended.

I'm going with Evans Cycles because they are part of the cycle-to-work scheme and they have some bikes coming in under my £600 budget. I've narrowed it down to:

The two Fuji bikes don't seem that different to me, apart from being from different years, while the Specialized looks a little fancy to me (but happy to take advice).

I would mostly be using the bike for commuting to work and getting round the city at weekends.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Brilliant. This is exactly the sort of thing I was looking for. Many thanks for your help.

Hi, yes sorry for posting here, but as a new user I can't start a new thread and this one seemed most relevant to my question.

I'll try posting in Bikes and Bits tomorrow when I have full rights to post.

I'd be looking to use it to commute to work and back, so the option to have panniers would be great, but not essential as I'm happy to strap a bag across my back. I'd be lying if I said I didn't want a bike that looked good, so sporty would be nice. Not sure what a hipster bike would be though.

Hi there,

My work is running a cycle to work scheme, and I'd like to buy my first single-speed through the scheme. I previously had a hybrid, which I found heavy, sluggish and frankly a bit embarrassing to ride!

I've set myself a budget of £600. I have no experience of building my own bike so would like to buy a complete bike for my first time. Is it possible to get a decent-ish bike for this money and, if so, can anyone recommend which one I should get?

Many thanks in advance.
