Buying Advice: Fyxation Pixel
Very sadly, my Bianchi Pista (about a 2007 or so model) was stolen. I need a bike, obviously, but need to be a bit more budget friendly in these trying times. Because of the difficulty of shopping in person and some other factors, I'm not interested in used or building my own, etc. I'm just want to push the "buy" button and be done with it and stay under $500. I've been looking at the Fyxation Pixel for a few reasons, mostly because it's pretty close in weight to my Pista and it has closed hubs. Anyone have any experience with this brand?
Thanks!
Thanks!

I rode a Fyxation Eastside for a couple of years as a work beater. It was heavy AF but was a pretty bomb proof bike. They didn't advertise it, but the frame could fit 38c Schwalbe Marathons pretty easily too.

I have dealt with them in the past when buying a Sparta fork and they were quite nice and easy to deal with. I certainly wanted our shop to stock their single speeds instead of what we occasionally carried only because it was around the same MSRP but a little higher quality. Their Gates pedals are decent for cheap pedals.
