>>1145547>If you drop more than 200 dollars on a fixie consider necking yourself.ehhh part of the appeal is being cheap, but you also want to be able to take it on and off curbs and stuff so cheap wheels are out, and because you can't gear down, you have to mash up hills, so stiffness is important, probably want an external BB and a threadless stem and a reasonably light frame.
>>1145510An old road bike like pic related is more practical. They have skinny steel tubes, a top tube parallel to the ground and silver components, all things you might associate with the fixie aesthetic.
