Yup..

Go to Royles in Wilmslow, it's in the doorway on the righthandside as you go in..

Looks even better in the flesh..

There's a yellow one hanging in Edinburgh Bicycle Co-op in Manchester too.
I think they look nice, but the Genesis Croix De Fer is almost as nice and much much cheaper.

The Pure Blood is still very heavy. I was a little diappointed to be honest (after having seen pics online - although yellow wouldn't be my choice tbh).

Just for info (and even though they don't seem to ship abroad):

Fixie Inc. has gone bankrupt, bikes from inventory are sold at neckermann.de, some at substantial rebate, e.g.:
- FIXIE Inc. Pure Blood with SRAM Force: €1,999 instead of €2,799
- FIXIE Inc. Pure Blood frame+fork kit: €849 instead of €1,199
(current exchange rate 1.00GBP equals 0.83 Euros)

Neckermann is one of the big traditional mail-order companies in Germany (so odd sales channel choice really).
As far as I understand they don't ship abroad and don't have a UK subsidiary...

Here's the link where they have Fixie bikes and bits on offer:
www.neckermann.de -> search for Fixie in the top "Suche" box.

They had one in the Bike Shed in Exeter... very pretty... heavier than I thought it would be.... I remember it seeming pricy although I can't remember what they were charging.....

Yeah, the Edinburgh Bike one is one offer at £2k down from £2400. Still way more than I would/could spend on a bike 🙁
