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)

Alright so i'm looking into getting a single speed bike to get to and from school and/or work. I found this bike on craigslist but I don't know what kind of frame it is or anything about the bike really because he repainted it and i was wondering if any bike experts out there would be able to identify what kind of bike it is and if it is worth 110$. Here is the link: https://tampa.craigslist.org/pnl/bik/3643395428.html

That thing is worth like $50 at most. But it is worthless to you if it doesnt fit

Custom and Vintage does not mean good.

This bike is not good; do not buy it.

I was offered 150 by a bike collector (i should have taken it)
He really should have. There aren't many options for a good new bike under 300. Check out Bikesdirect and the clearance sections of other online retailers if your local marketplace is failing.
