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?
Hmmm, was thinking just the same as xiphon 😉
on sale for a reason.......
one of the ****iest pieces or marketing spiel I've read for a while, too.

Tough choice.
Christ. They're awful.
If you want a cheap Hoxton-bike - these are only £240

^^ I've seen those cheap fixies for sale around £100 on some websites. Can't remember the name of it though.
Rather dangerous IIRC!
they're not that good for polo
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
Mongoose Maurice

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
yeah the cheap fixie my mate rides is a create, it has been absolutely fine. He is v quick on it.
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.
Create were mentioned in [the comments section of] an article about a new cheapo fixie brand I read yesterday

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