Saw this on CL in my state. Still new to the bike community and with little knowledge on bikes, I was wondering if this is a good buy. Any advice is welcome.

I have never owned or rode a single speed bike so with having no experience with this type of bike and the seller living about 200 miles from where I'm at, it explains the hesitation on my part.

New replacement forks coming tomorrow hopefully. If you look close, you can tell that my steerer tube is slightly bent but bent enough.

My new forks came in a few days ago and I also switched the stem and top cap. Also removed some stickers. Wanted to have a cleaner look. Next month I should get new tires and bar tape and also need to get another 15T cog and maybe go wild and get a 53T chainring.

finally got around to putting a brake on this and a basket while I was at it. I love my handsome boy.

Need a better crank and tape. Lighter wheelset and bar/stem combo from a road bike. Triple triangle goodness.

TY sir! Not a GT, actually a Spicer. Heavy straight guage chromo, but stiff with the triple triangle plus wishbone stays. Carbon fork, wheelset, and components are decently light for parts bin build. Aggressive geo with 74.5 x 75 angles. Would love a GT, but got this custom to my measurements and built for less than a used GTB from fleaBay.
