hey what's the average cost of a fixie?

It depends on how good of a rig you want. You can get a bike off bikesdirect.com for $250 at the cheapest and it will get you around town for sure. Or if you want something a little better, you might be looking at something around $450-$550. If you custom build and go all out, well thats anywhere from $700-$2000.

there really is no goo answer to your question until we find out what exactly you are in business for.

or go down to your LBS, have they look for a cheap pair of chromoly handlebars, i know SBS and QBP have a few and they cost like $15. be warned tho they tend to be boat anchors.

Also nice Langster!

Thanks man!

yeah, you might be able to get some cruiser bars to throw on also, but yeah, heavy.

I know a DUI is possible, but its a bit harder around here.

Create a source of inspiration and discussion for future builds.

Post your fixies here.
Specs, details are welcome.

I'll start.

Am I the only one that doesnt notice anything about what kind of bike your fixie is?
