Has anyone seen one of these in the flesh? Looks stunning. Want.

Is it haunted?

Yup..

Go to Royles in Wilmslow, it’s in the doorway on the righthandside as you go in..

Looks even better in the flesh..

There’s a yellow one hanging in Edinburgh Bicycle Co-op in Manchester too.
I think they look nice, but the Genesis Croix De Fer is almost as nice and much much cheaper.

The Pure Blood is still very heavy. I was a little diappointed to be honest (after having seen pics online – although yellow wouldn’t be my choice tbh).

Just for info (and even though they don’t seem to ship abroad):

Fixie Inc. has gone bankrupt, bikes from inventory are sold at neckermann.de, some at substantial rebate, e.g.:
– FIXIE Inc. Pure Blood with SRAM Force: €1,999 instead of €2,799
– FIXIE Inc. Pure Blood frame+fork kit: €849 instead of €1,199
(current exchange rate 1.00GBP equals 0.83 Euros)

Neckermann is one of the big traditional mail-order companies in Germany (so odd sales channel choice really).
As far as I understand they don’t ship abroad and don’t have a UK subsidiary…

Here’s the link where they have Fixie bikes and bits on offer:

They had one in the Bike Shed in Exeter… very pretty… heavier than I thought it would be…. I remember it seeming pricy although I can’t remember what they were charging…..

Yeah, the Edinburgh Bike one is one offer at £2k down from £2400. Still way more than I would/could spend on a bike 🙁
