I want to buy pic related for about 90$
What do you guys think? I'd definitely give the frame some work but everything else works perfectly.

>>958837
It can be a single speed... with hub brake.
>>958837
Are you suggesting he should get a fixie instead of pic related?
>>958830
I think it's a good Price for that bike. Maybe you will want to change the handle bar for ergonomics. I mean, a flat bar with ergo shit (pic) will do, but other guys here will reccomend drops.
What purposes are you keeping in mind for this bike? I'm not sure you dont know what are you buying. I tell because hub brake in rear Wheel. Maybe you will want to add a rim brake in rear Wheel and rid off that hub brake. But if you really want the hub brake, there are no more observations to do.
>>958837
It's a single speed m8
>>958843
Well I was mainly looking for a basic road bike, preferably single speed (I really prefer low maintenance). As for the hub brake, it's not something I really wanted but I'm okay with it. I might replace it with a rim brake some time if I can't get used to it, though.
As for the handle bar, I really would've preferred drops like you mentioned, but it's not my biggest concern. Might see if I can replace it for little money and if not, so be it.
>>958848
implying fixies aren't singlespeed by default because SINGLE FUCKING SPEED ONE FUCKING FIXED GEAR
>>958859
Except that fixies don't have a freewheel mechanism, the bicycle I posted does.
Hence, not a fixie.
>>958859
You can see the coaster brake clamp right there because
>non drive side pic
$90 isn't too bad. Deep dish rims like that are really sturdy and really heavy compared to a more shallow rim wall.
Also:
Singlespeed-implies a freewheel
"Fixie"- implies a direct drive or fixed gear cog.
You guys will argue over anything

I kinda like that I guess, the bike seems really light to me anyway

looks too deep to be a Deep V

That looks tasty and fast at the same time. Too bad it is just shopped

so much this anon, so much this.

everyone who has built something which may seem weird or stupid to someone has his own reasons:
>why upside down dropbars?
because spine problems
>why something like >>948840 ?
because a he needed a beater and built it out from whatever he had at hand
>why tallbikes or other freakbikes?
because fuck you, why not

>why aerospoke on a average-tier fixie?
because that's his understanding of "swag"

umm.... well, I give up on this one

Oh! I remember that one. We had such laughs about it here on /n/ a few years back.

I see no bicycles in your picture, OP.
>>958889
Strength in a wheel comes from the spokes over the rims. See DH wheels for evidence.
And I have a sudden urge for pizza.

>Implying all fixies are single speed
>>958889
>Singlespeed-implies a freewheel
Implying it does. Most single speeds are fixed.
>"Fixie"- implies a direct drive or fixed gear cog.
No it doesn't: it states it outright.
