Fixed Gear Single Speed Bike - Perfect Urban Commuter Bicycle with Front and Rear Brakes - Ideal for Teens and Adults - The Bike Comes in Different Sizes

For it's price point, this is really as good as you can get.I have the 63 cm frame. I am 6'3"-6'4" and it fits perfectly. I've had to ride on 58 cms before, and it always felt too small. So sizing is on point for someone my height.I'm quite familiar with bikes, so I put this together myself rather than have someone set it up for me. (Completion time was about an hour with fine tuning)- The frame is simple, clean, and looks good.- The petals are actually better than I anticipated, but might still be the first thing I'd think about replacing.- The crank set is sturdier than I expected as well. Too many times I've seen bikes in similar price ranges with the flimsiest looking crank set. This looks like a solid bit of metal that looks like it can handle a bit more abuse than your standard run-of -the-mill sub-200 dollar hardware.- The rims are generic Deep Vs. The wheels were pretty true out of the box.- The tires are a better quality than I was expecting as well.- The seat is basic and hard, so your buns will take a few days to get used to it, but the seat functions as well as I need it to.- The grips are generic, and this is the first thing I swapped out. Without gloves, the thick protrusions on the grips are kind of annoying. I put on new grips that feel a bit smoother but offer equal if not better grip.- The brakes function well enough. They don't stop on a dime, but that's nothing a little more love and care can fix.- The handle bars are exactly what you expect.My only real complaint is that the geometry of the handlebar's position feels funky. It feels as if the head post is really close into your body, so when I turn its extremely responsive (making control feel a little squirrely).Before this bike, I bought a Pure Fix as an emergency purchase (from Sports Chalet) and I hated it. almost twice the price of this bike with equal or worse quality parts. The brakes sucked and squeaked, the crank set creaked non-stop, and it felt heavier. The Slick Tires they have are trash and eat up sharp objects like they have a death wish.To sum it up: This is a fantastic Bike for casual riders, commuters, and "looking to be seen" types with the capacity for customization. I don't ride as aggressive as I used to, so it works well for someone who rides easy.Who I would NOT recommend this bike for: Serious Fixed Gear Riders ( Ride hard, rely on skid stops, etc.), Trick riders, Track riders and marathon riders. This is a very entry level bike; The hardware likely can't handle hard abuse. At the end of the day its still generic parts on a lot of the bike. If you insist on a bike for these functions get something like a Fuji Feather and set it up for your needs.

First off, I’m an avid cyclist and I’ve built my own bikes from the frame up so I do have a good sense for bikes. I bought this as a city commuter because I grew too nervous locking up my nicer builds on shady parts of town. What was meant as a steal-me-if-you-must bike has really exceeded my expectations. It’s a well thought out build and I love the efficiency of the single speed. This thing really moves and the steel has the perfect amount of give - efficient but forgiving on tough streets. It’s far from perfect though. The wheels were not entirely true, which could have easily been done. And I’ve gotten my first flat as the tires are pretty cheap as well. So no, nothing like my more prized bikes. But for $220 I cannot complain. The next nicer bikes seem to come in over 400 and all the similarly priced ones don’t come with sealed bearings (as this one does). For all these reasons it’s Well worth the money.Edit 5/30/19Still pleased after several hundred miles. Love the minimalism and the fitness and speed I get with this bike; This thing cuts through city traffic like it’s nobody’s business.But a couple more observations:The spokes are so flimsy. The wheel set is definitely shoddy and I don’t suspect these wheels will take a lot of abuse. (This seems, however, to be endemic at this price point)It is heavy for a fixie. Compared to higher grade steel, aluminum and carbon fixies, it’s a tank. That said, it’s still lighter than my geared steel bikes.All in all, still five stars but do keep these deficiencies in mind when considering the purchase.

After putting everything together, the bike looks great! Arrived with a hole punctured through the box and the spindles were exposed but not damaged - probably a delivery thing. I was a little disappointed that I can’t ride it today since could not fill the tires, need to buy a special adapter to attach to the tire air valve that is either sold separate or did not come with my bike. The bike comes with some kind of fancy French air valves for the tires that are not the same as like an American car for example. Assembling this bike was pretty tough to do, the hardest part was the back tire. I had to use a wood shop clamp in reverse to spread the frame a little wider to get the tire in - I am pretty handy (not a seasoned bike person though) but this maybe me question if the size of the frame was wrong or tire was a different size. There are two ways to install that back tire too, a free wheel gear and the reverse way is fixed gear. You won’t know which one is which by looking at it. You will need to tinker, I found that the bronze color side is the “freewheel” gear. Did not come with any instructions so I had to rely on google to find a manual that wasn’t very thorough. Assembly can easily be a two person job if you do not have any decent wrenches at home. It did come with very rinky dink tools but not every Allen wrench for me. Hey, you are buying a bike not a tool set though. Putting the bike together was pretty hard with getting a good alignment and tuning the brakes right. I did it, but it was hard and will be hard for you if you never put a bike together like me. I need to find out now what kind of adapter to buy to fill up the tires. If the bike holds up, I will probably buy a second one for my wife because she’s jealous now.
