For sale is my fixed gear road bike.
This is around 2 years old and has maybe covered 100 miles since purchase, which is nothing on a bike like this.
I bought this when I was at uni, living in the city centre. Its a great bike for getting around on, looks sweet, goes fast with no effort, requires virtually no maintenance and once adjusted to your size, you never need to touch it again apart from keeping the tyres pumped up and chain oiled.
Perfect for commuting.
The frame size is quite large. Ideally suited for somebody around 6 foot tall. However i'm on 5' 8" and I can ride it fine with the seat down slightly from where it is in the photos.
Spec and new parts fitted are detailed below. The only bad points about the bike are numerous small chips on the frame due to the bike being locked against railings and posts. Also the bar tape could do with replacing as it has shifted on the bars and has torn in a couple of places where the bike has brushed along walls etc whilst being locked up.
Only Selling as i'm downsizing my garage and have no room for it!
Asking price is £200. The bike cost £265 new and has had around £150 spent on new parts since. Will also be advertised on ebay, so be quick if you are interested.
