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)

I think half of the theft prevention to this design in it's ugliness

Yes, much more simple and effective than a U-lock. This is sure to be a success.

I like the looks of the bike, but it's a solution to a problem that the majority of people don't have. And it's not exactly cheap.

It is cheaply made. High-tensile steel frame + fork, welded crown fork, non-machined braking rim surfaces, poorly assembled in the gallery pictures, nameless components except KMC chan, Kenda tires & Wellgo pedals.

They probably don't know the industry standards, and either typed in their guess, or made their own stem and handlebar.

Exactly. And to my eyes it should have a lower price.

Too bad no one in their right mind would buy that bike for that one standout feature.
