S*** I am addicted.

My single speed audax/road bike has just become to good for knocking around on so I bought this for knocking around on, brand new from Rutland Cycles half price nearly at £199. So I can be a fixie hipster in Cumbria.

A Schwinn Cutter.

Matt white with shiny white decals subtle, apart from the green! Bought for fun not for anything else really, well apart from putting my daughter on the back in a little seat when shes old enough then I will put the back brake on as well.

Looks like someone has pucked over the back end.

It's alright for you, you won't have to look at it.

Hmmm subtle!

To be a real hipster do you not have to remove all signs of braking?
Have you bought the matching skinny jeans and check shirt yet?

Do those colours chains stay coloured?

Was out on it today in jeans with cycling shorts underneath, converse boots, hoody and on one cycling cap, hip as foooooooooooooooook in my eyes, a right dick in everybody elses. Brakes staying, skids stops are difficult, back pressure is ok but still don't feel that safe.

Andrew not sure about the chain apart from its a KMC, but I would expect the green to show through the usual chain grime, mind I am fanatical about bike cleaning so it might just stay puke green!

With you on that one, how these guys ride through the middle of cities with no brakes at all and live to tell the tale is beyond me!

The frame looks great, I'd match up the rear with a black wheel and a black chain. Maybe drops or bullhorns unless you find the flats suitable.

Looking good
I would like one of them but have four bikes at the mo

Looks Nice, I might be after a new fixie and that looks tempting but I think I want drops.

 

[Racing Snake]

Nice.

I wasn't really after another bike but at that price I couldn't resist http://www.rutlandcycling.com/c/613/Single-Speed-Road-Bikes.html

Hello @SS Retro how are you getting on with your cutter. Im new to the ss world and cycling world really and im looking at getting the new white and blue one. It would be used for a 8mile each way commute. Would you recommend for a first buy? Btw im 6ft7 so do you know if the extra large would be an okay size?

 

[SS Retro]

Firstly I wouldn't pay full price for one there not worth it at a good discount they are. For 8 miles it would be no issues personally if it's just for knocking round on and commuting, I would by this http://www.rutlandcycling.com/45566...fab269af2e945872d140&referrer=affiliatewindow

I am 5,10 and got a medium.

Thanks for the advice! That's a real help. Is it fixed or freewheel? If its freewheel ill probably get that!
