Hi r/whichbike, This is the continuation of my first post

I’m looking for advice on selecting a fixed gear bike. I’ve always had a city bike with a basket and a rear rack for luggage, finding it very practical. Now, I’m looking to upgrade to a more stylish bike, which is why I’m interested in switching to a fixed gear bike for some fun rides and fitness.

Here are more details to help guide your recommendations:

1.  Usage: I’ll be using my bike for fun rides on bicycle paths and occasionally for fitness, though that’s not the primary focus.
2.  Terrain: I’ll mainly ride in the city, sometimes on uphill streets. I prefer stable terrains and avoid mountainous or rocky roads.
3.  Reasoning: I’ve always had a classical single-speed bike and now want to enjoy the unique experience of a fixed gear bike for some fun rides. Also I saw some very cool posts on Instagram about skidding and thought it looked really cool.

I'm posting this because I want to buy my first fixed gear bike. Unfortunately I know nothing about bikes but I have some ideas on what to buy. Here's the link:

Is this a good choice ? Any suggestions for specific models or features I should consider? I’m aiming for a balance of quality and affordability.

Thanks in advance for your help

  1. With steel bikes the mantra is: avoid hi-ten steel, go for cro-mo. I don’t see it specified on that site what steel it’s made of. Likely hiten, based on the total weight but idk.
    Other than that fixed gear is fun, but get straps.
