A little heavy?

It doesn't say how many teeth on the sprocket and chain ring.

And I thought my Flier was a tad heavy at 9.5kg, 15.7kg! what are they building it with? industrial tubing?

Most likely.

My fixed is about 9 kg ready to roll, and I built it with bits from the BikeCave. How can a fixed weigh over 15 kg? My Brommie is 3kg lighter than that!

You might find that they have quoted the shipping weight. Whoever writes the descriptions on the Halfords website clearly copy and pastes from other sources.

They must ship it with a slack handful of bricks included then! I gave one of those a quick look until I saw the weigh of the thing.

just saying, my giant anthem had 18.5kg stamped on the box. its nowhere near that.

 

[TheDoctor]

Possibly it's a generic box, and that's the maximum shipping weight of any bike that fits in that box?

 

[Andrew1971]

If i had the money i would get it. Still be lighter than my other single speed/fixed. Some people at work call it the concrete bike cos it so heavy free wheels
for ever though.

Looks like a pile of crapcrap made from pig iron and melted down anvils.
