Sounds very cheap! However at this price point remember the frame is of High
Tensile steel as opposed to double-butted chromoly. The weight of 23lb is a
bit hefty for a fixie. The big bike companies charge about $600-800. from
many folks point of view (including myself) the most rewarding way is to
source out a good quality 1975-95 era road bike, strip all the unnecessary
hardware and rebuild up with fixie tackle. With this method is possible to
get a really premium frame for a nominal cost. The 75-95 vintage were the
halcyon years for top quality steel frames. Here's mine which I built up
about five years ago. The original version and the present incarnation is
shown and described below. The best bicycle deal I've ever made! I love
riding it.

There's no doubt that it works wonders for pedaling technique!
Good luck,

Subject: smooth out your pedal stroke

A friend of mine just ordered a fixie from this site - $395. for a custom
build. Sure sounds good.

Come spring (spring is coming, isn't it?) your pedal stroke will be as
smooth as silk.

No relation, etc. just passing on a good deal.
