it is not a bad bike. Looks sturdy and looks good. Just frustrated with the tires and tubes that they gave me. I hope this doesn't happen to any other potential buyers. It's not something that should stop you from buying this bike. Tires and tubes are commonly replaced items, and are going to be replaced a lot throughout the life of the bike. Just warning you to be prepared to spent some money when you get it on new tires and tubes
Single Handedly the best single-speed bicycle in this price range with
fantastic components, A+ packaging, and amazing color options.
Tires: Really good quality. I've put a good 100 city miles on mine.
Many pot holes, cracks, curbs, skids, bar-spins, no problems at all.
Flip Flop Hub: This gives you the option to ride fixed or freewheel and very easy to switch from one to the other. I like riding fixed-gear personally, but it can get really tiring because your feet are moving a lot, so sometimes I switch to freewheel and then it rides like a normal cruiser.
Handlebars: It's my first time having BMX style handlebars and I am really happy with them. I actually prefer them by far for city riding because they come a little bit higher so I'm not leaned forward as much. Way more comfortable, and it makes my bars-pins really easy.
Frame: The frame can bar spin and there is no toe overlap. The geometry is perfect, and the frame is surprisingly light for this price range. I've paid over $500 for my last fixie which was heavier.
