Looking for a cheap fixed bike for some speedy commuting and to do a few club tens on. What do you reckon to this Akiba one:

Serious option or total bobbins?

Looks decent that one. I'm on a pompino already, though, and fancy something a bit different.
Frame and fork on the ebay one look OK, just the wheels might be a joke.

Fixed gear or fixed wheel?

Either way, cheaper to make your own

I've had a Revolution before. The Track was good, I had previous aluminium one so will presume it's now steel is a bonus. It will take SKS P35's if tyres changed to 23mm. Just keep an eye on spoke tension for first few miles, otherwise fine.
