They're shit. Their customer service is shit, and they're sold through LBS which are also shit.

I've heard they're surprisingly light for high tensile steel.

Fucking this.

There are plenty of options if you want a cheap fixed gear.

Try State or Fyxation or Bikes Direct.

probably amongst the worst of the online fixed gear offerings

high tensile steel, straight tubing, and the questionable promax brakes, with that one china brand HL making everything and a shit tier NECO exposed bearing headset with cast NOT FORGED headset cups.

was suprising how cheaply slapped together these bikes are.

walmart quality.

state bicycle isn't much better

and neither is the urban outfitters ones

the raleigh is the only BS company using a vintage name i'd spring for the older bikes had reynolds tubing and sugino parts stock with a real headset. not great but it was a real one

the cheapest decent quality road bike you will find costs $700

the cheapest quality fixed gear is $500 which is basically the cost of a road bike minus the cheap groupset

get a Fuji Feather or Maxi Fixed Uno Drop

I got myself a 6ku. Its a great commuter bike that i ride to work and for pleasure. I did buy it online, so it is another cheap build.
Got it for about 200 i think. I dont use it for anything else other than a commuter, because thats what its for.
I did change the handlebars, the crankset, and i took off the brakes. I love it.
Just do what you think is right. People on /n/ will do their best to discourage from getting a cheap fixie and they are not wrong for doing it. If you can, I would save up the money to get a better bike and not fixed gear either, even though i love mine.

The pic is pretty old, Still had the original crank on it.

they're ok. the wt is nice if you want to run wide tires with fenders. it's basically a surly steamroller. the stock wheels fukcing suck.

wabi bikes are pretty nice. better frame than the kilo, better wheels. meh crankset but that's easy as fuck to upgrade.

bought this off of amazon from a company called projekt for 269. So far it's been holding pretty well, actually had a crash the other day and it came out unscathed the only thing that's ultra shitty is the pre-installed grip tape which i've been to lazy to replace.

I work in an LBS that carries them. They're awful. So many problems with everything from the frames, to the bars to the wheels. Don't get one. When customers aren't in earshot we call them "pureshit". Those bikes are garbage.

Their Premium frames are cro-mo not hi-ten. Obviously from the same Taiwanese factory as a bunch of other fixie manufacturers' frames. Pic related, pay attention to dropouts.

However, I have no idea how good or bad Purefix price/performance is compared to its competion in OP's location.
