Very Budget Single Speed Bike

[per4]

Interested in getting this bike as my first ss bike:

Whistle Men's Mojave 1485 Urban Single Speed Fixie Bike

Will it likely be pretty much the same as any other ~£200 steel ss bike? ie. mango, or something from fixed gear frenzy etc?

Buy a used Langster instead, you won't regret it

I don't know where you are but @biggs682 might have something available, (not a Langster though), but he does post anyway so your location is kind of irrelevant

The Langster is a truly great bike, (either steel or alu they're both great), and FWIW I'd always drop my cash on a better quality used bike rather than a cheaper new one.

thanks @smokeysmoo

@per4 the only single speed bike i have an offer at the moment is this W Pollard Speciallite Single speed bike Retro

ignore the £275 as open to offers not sure i woul go as low as £200 though but i do have another one in the pipeline that would be around the £200 mark but unsure when it will be ready

Reviews of Fixed Gear Frenzy are very poor if you Google . Mango do seem better. They'll all be heavy and basic bikes though

If you look though the whistle is currently £145 for available sizes which seems decent even if it needs new parts in a year. A lightning deal so be quick

If it's your size, Wiggle have the Charge Grater in medium only for just under £200

The Whistle is back up to £210 now

Wow didn't think you'd get so many under £100. There's a ss hard tail for £30 near Manchester.

That bike is garbage

Sure you could build up your own for a couple of hundred or less and it would probably be better than anything new at that price. No dark art to building one

I reckon the Vitus ones are good for the price.
