Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

1. I'm ordering the bike online, there is no way i could check the bike in real life.
2. The bike has a sloppy top tube
3. Maybe some guys have experiences with sloppy tube bikes

what does that even mean?

theres also an entire forum for fit

dont ever order a bike based on their height measurements, its meaningless.
measure yourself with a fit calculator and go from there.
compare to a bike you already own if possible
