Fixie 58-60cm Frame/Bike

[aserota]

Looking to start getting a fixie built for the summer. I am looking for a frame or full bike.

Im not very clued up on fixies and am therefore still researching more information.

Ideally i am looking for a very lightweight aluminium or carbon frame, suitable for short cycles (40 miles and under). This is not a replacement for my road bike, but more of an addition/toy!

Budget for full bike is £500, frame would be around £2-300

what have you got?

Get a steel frame

Check out this list of fixed-gear bikes in your price range:

The Pearson Touche (£550) is aluminium/carbon fork and is v light (18lbs), if you want to go that route.

Kona Paddy Wagon looks good

Looking forward to the revolution. You won't call them 'fixies' then.

Just a quick update...

Still on the lookout ideally for a carbon/ti frame if possible. Anything which is very lightweight would be preferred. I am happy to re-paint/furb a chipped frame.

Try Terry Dolan; just don't call it a 'fixie' **shudder**
