    God those things are horrendous! Such a difference to the alloy Langster.

    Do they only appeal to the polo-playing trendy fixie crew in Shoreditch?

    ^^ I’ve seen those cheap fixies for sale around £100 on some websites. Can’t remember the name of it though.

    Rather dangerous IIRC!

    I think the steel langster looks ace, and those cheapo ones are great a lad in my office commutes in on one and its fine after a year.

    fixie/single speed isnt for me though..

    I do think the track style bikes look aesthetically pleasing, which is probably why they have become so trendy around the major capitals and have done a lot to make cycling more popular.

    You see quite a few sophisticated youngsters pootling round london on their trendy single-speeds. Better on a bike than on the tube…

    I think the “cheap fixie” above is better than you think

    You’re right though, that does look quite dangerous 🙂

    i think the cheap fixie you are thinking of is the create brand. which are a bit rubbish. that mongoose is alright quality though. just rather ugly.

    if that langster wasn’t red, I’d have one
    much better looking than the aluminium one

    I think they look quite cool.

    Really liked the monaco version they did a few years back.

    to be honest, out of the 2 i recon the steel one is much better looking.
    toys19, in my experience your mates is the exception to the general rule. although i think they are getting better.

    i’m not sure about the handlebars (maybe just the position?), but i prefer the skinny red one.
