Courier Track
What is a good budget Courier / Track / Fixie Bike?
Needs to be good enough quality to ride 100 miles a week.
Single speed, brakes optional
Fixed rear wheel optional.
Links appreciated
I saw this for sale http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Matte-Black-Track-Road-Courier-Bike-Dual-Hub-60cm-Frame_W0QQitemZ300316743550QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Bikes_GL?hash=item45ec45d77e&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65:12|66:2|39:1|72:1688|240:1318|301:0|293:1|294:50
But how good value is it?
*answer*
You are totally correct, these look great
I've got one of these fixies from Ebay and use it nearly everyday of the week, sometimes interchanging between this and a racer i've got.
Regarding quality, firstly the frame quality is pretty good and v-rim wheels are nice and give a smooth ride over bumpy roads in London. Crank is pretty good quality i think its a Sugino messenger type (looks like one) although not specified in website. I did have to modify it a bit and replaced the handlebars, pedals, saddle, rim tape (coz i got puncture re inside tyres). Brakes are not great so you might have to change for better ones.
For the money its great value bike, i haven't had problems with it yet and its eye candy for other cyclists to admire.
