erhaps you should be loking at Giants entry into the fixed world. The 'Bowery', £350 with muguard eyes and drop brakes. Alu frame, but a whole fixed bike for less money

judging by the name and geometry, the bowery shares the same incestuous, twisted, satanic birthright as the wrongster.

No it's not!gkerr4 said:why - why shouldn't you use a compact frame for a fixie???
Not being funny, but I wouldn't be seen dead on some steel, horizontal top tubed, 70's throw-back frame - including those fuji things - they deserve to be in the museum not on the roads.
and how is the langster geometry useless - it';s the same as the allez - probably the most successful entry level road bike out there.
you guys are unreal - it's just a bike! - I have done a few miles on mine since I git it - I love it - I have hardly touched the road bike since I got it. It is lightweight, functional, feels fast and has excellent handling it barely needs maintaing and in comparison to my roadbike I can lock it up anywhere without constantly wondering if it will be there when I get back - for £349 it's a bargain!

It's cheaper to buy a secondhand some steel, horizontal top tubed, 70's throw-back frame
hichakhok said:No It's not, unless you have a shed full of parts. ( i have a fixed beater from the dump built thus) I picked up my steel pinarello for about £150. The final build cost was about £1000. Yes I splashed out on nice gear. But you would be really hard pushed to pull in a self build under £350 with all new wheels, hubs, cranks. Also factor in about £100 of tools needed and time spent solving chain line issues which can get tricky with old italian and french frames. Langster is a great buy imo.
Anyway, using the word Spazz (got a spastic uncle thanks very much) and equating buying a brand of bike with incest shows you to be an offensive and rather sad dick-head.
