im looking to buy my first fixed gear, and i found this blue one, it looks ok but i wanted to check that im not buying hot trash (also if i buy it, the first thing im changing is the saddle, that thing looks like ass)
It’s a run of mill conversion. That rear hub looks pretty garbage. Get foot retention or a front brake.

I don’t know anything about the frame, but it looks pretty abused and rusty. Id only buy this if you’re looking for a project. You would need to replace the chain and clean/grease/replace all the bearings. I wouldn’t be surprised if there are bigger issues as it doesn’t looks like its been cared for in years.

Hard pass, my guy.
The crankset is really bad, also you gonna need new wheels, tires, tubes, chain, cog.
You are looking at a fixer upper for around 300 dollars worth in repairs IF YOU DO IT YOURSELF.
That’s a bad investment if you ask me.
Do you have anything else in mind ?
