What is the best fixed gear/ single speed bike?
-
Hey fellow riders! I have been riding all my life. Finally learned the strengths and advantages to riding a fixed gear / single speed bike! I live in NYC! This is meant for everyday riding in Manhattan/Brooklyn/Queens. Will probably be locking it outside but never over night! But lets say money is of no object (relatively, dont tell me to go buy a $10,000 fixie made of titanium and magnesium) and the better/funkier it looks the better. Cool color combos are my thing! Anyway down to the important stuff! Whats the best complete bike? (Surly steamroller for ex) Whats the best frame? Whats the best frame tubing and type of steel? (ex. Columbus, Reynolds, Cromoly etc.) Whats the best wheelset? Whats the best crank? Whats the best tires? Whats the best gearing? Also I am 6 foot tall, 178 lbs, athletic build, legs like tree trunks! I like to sprint, not great on longer hauls but looking to change that! Please understand when I say "best" i mean best performance compared to price and durability! So give me few options if you think thats the "best" answer! If anyone has any advice or tips for or against building my first fixie, let me know! meaning if you think buying an older used steel bike instead of building one is better then please tell me! Oh and if you have one for sale, put your contact in the message! Remember im in NYC and will not travel further than the city limits! Thank you everyone!
