By Daniel Turbin


In case you are having several issues when seeking at several fixies for sale, then take some advice. Concentrate on the frame. This is the whole thing that is at the heart of a quality fixed gear bike. Get this thing right and you are going to be on to a clear winner. So what should you be seeking for in the frames of fixies for sale?

Well you need to come to a decision what you are gonna do. Is track and racing your thing, is it gonna be an all purpose road bike or does a sense of adventure appeal and you desire to be out in the wilderness anywhere. It impacts on the frame you are going to need.

Therefore we take track fixie bikes, the frames here are really important. They need to keep the rider in just an upright posture with no wobbling or flexing. Which means a race lost or a crash. There is absolutely no margin for error. The top frames are actually carbon fiber that will set you back a tidy wedge of cash. But that's the characteristics of the beast.

Road frames thought need to do many things. You need a stable ride, but flexibility to have the pounding of the black stuff and the pot holes and cracks. This is the middle market and a $150 frame or less of good quality will easily be found.

Mountain fixie frames have to be very tough. They mustn't crumple at the first rock or dip you reach. They also want some flexibility in them to take the ride to appropriate levels for your spine. The sprocket ground clearance is a dead giveaway if you have the perfect one or not.

Therefore take these basics with you if you get fixies for sale. Get it right as all things flows from this general principle of the frame first.
