afternoon...
i will be needing a pub/town bike and have decided that a basic ss/fixie is the way to go as i quite miss my old ones. so what do people recommend?

cheers

Buy a complete Voodoo with slidey dropouts, sell shutters and mechs, buy SS ring and sprockets.

If you actually want a fake track bike, get a Specialized Langster.

I'm always tempted by the [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/vitus-bikes-dee-290-city-bike-2015/rp-prod120678 ]Vitus Dee 29er[/url]. Sadly I don't have any idea what I would use it for at all so even though it's cheap I cant pull the trigger
