New Fixed Gear Bikes and Options – Submitted

by Alex on April 15, 2009

Submitted by Paul Scarsella

Usually when I talk about cycling with someone interested in getting started riding on the road, the inevitable question becomes how much will I need to spend on a decent road bike? The answer is you could spend as little as $700 to as much as $3k (or more). This is usually enough to make many people dismiss getting started in cycling as an option. In reality, you can get something nice in the $700 to $800 range but it will consist of a solid frame (usually aluminum) with some really lousy wheels and subpar components. Anyone who is slightly on the heavy side (which is most people) and does a lot of riding will inevitably wear this stuff out quickly and will need to replace wheels and parts. What’s left is usually the frame, just begging to be upgraded.

Fixed Gear Stickers for Your Hommie

by Alex on February 20, 2009

Got this message sent to me… help a brotha out and give him some stickers for his fixie

Subject: STICKERS

Message: Hi all, I’m thinking of covering my bike in stickers instead
of a new paint job. Could look funky. If you’ve got any you don’t
want, I’ll send you a stamped envelope, even if its only one or two
I’d really appreciate it.

email me at
Buddy4693@comcast.net

Thanks,

Stephen
