NS Bikers (Not Motorcycle)

I am breaking down and looking to purchase a fixed gear. Heading into the city and do not want to dick around with mountain anymore. Just looking for a solid cruising fixed gear. I do not care to get it all colored up like Urban Outfitters junk. So I just would like to hear what companies make a good solid fixie.

Searchbar and well it is useless anymore.

inb4 hipster, get a real bike, any other common joke on fixed.
 
Republic bikes makes nice ones, but i think those are online orders rather than a store

that said, you will have far more street cred if you buy an old ten speed and pull off all the deraileurs and then just swap out the rear wheel. You will also have a pile of cash left over afterwards to buy a new wheelset, paint it, get cool handlebars, whatever.

oh and go with a Redline Urbis or Specialized P-Fixie. They are freestyle oriented fixies so they are incredibly strong, and you never know when you may wanna throw down a wheelie and some bars!

There was a post on this not long ago, the verdict was fixies are gay and get a road bike with gears and brakes.
 
For gods sake can we call it a fixed gear instead of a fucking "fixie" you sound like you're talking about getting a vasectomy or something.

And OP proper term is "bicyclist", biker is motorcycles.
 
Hopefully you realize how dumb that sounds.

bicycle, bicyclist, biker

motorcycle, motorcyclist, biker

Which one of these things sounds out of place?
 
Well fuck me I didn't mean the laws of the English language bind us to calling them bikers, but more commonly the term "biker" is used in reference to the stereotypical motorcyclist rather than a bicycle rider. You wouldn't call a guy on a motorcycle a cyclist would you?
 
And leave shitty insults and hopeless attempts to belittle others in hopes that it may improve the quality of your shitty existence to the real AR6, you suck at it.
 
Yeah, I guess. I was originally making an attempt to show that you can call people who ride motorcycles or bicycles whatever you want and that biker can be used when referring to either.
 
Whats wrong with having a rear hub that wont fuck you in the ass with stunning ferocity using your own legs when you go down a hill? seriously what is the appeal of a fixed gear as opposed to single speed
 
i get a way better work out in a shorter distance. I don't have to go very far before i'm completely exhausted. or at the bar.
 
but dont fixed gear bikes when you do down hill the pedals spin really fast without you using your legs? isnt that like a little bit terrible?
 
Thats if you let them. You're supposed to control it going down hill. But yeah, get a big enough descent, and you'll be shinless.
 
it can be. but you use the pedals to manage your speed, and therefore are continually working. it's not for everyone. I only ride mine around my area which is mostly flat anyway and it's a great workout.
 
i go to the gym for that. i use my road bike to reduce my carbon foot print and stick it to the man's gas prices
