Found my favorite bike

[arnuld]

I guess this bike will be on the list of my top-favorites. Simple, straightforward, no fuss, no fancy looks, plain hybrid and Singlepseed. So sad its not available in India

Pretty sure this was reviewed in one of this month's mags... quite heavy IIRC... 26lbs?

They certainly look good - the third one in particular.

The Globes use Reynolds tubing...

Arnuld the pictures above are what Europe and the USA call "Fixies"....very popular due to simplicity, and 'relative' cheapness....not always cheap......and many use old frames...

Very 'trendy' over in the UK....might soon be in India.....?

Also - fixies often have no - or only one brake. And they're fixed-gear, not single speed - they have no free-wheel so you can't stop pedalling if you're moving along.

26 lbs is heavy . All Indian bikes weigh at least 40 pounds.
