Mine is coming soon, and it will be a bit of both.

Got mine on Ebay. All I changed was the fixed cog and pedals. Replaced it with a 12t and locking ring.

From Crosslakes 2 years ago. Some of the components they use currently are different such as the chainring. I have had no problems with the bike, and I am a very large person as is my son who also rides it.

Doesn't look bad, except for the stem. I have no first hand experience with them, but was wary of the fact that their aluminum bike weighs about 4lbs more than my steel one.

As long as the ride is OK, and it holds up, I suppose there's not much to complain about, given the price.

It weighs 20lbs. Feels like a feather compared to my original fixie from 1965.

Their current auction states 22lb, which seems a bit porky. I'd say 20 is respectable for a generic frame and components.

Re: Bought or Homegrown? Let's see!

Bought mine, tweaked a little. It's posted in the registry here: http://www.twospoke.com/forum/f134/decent-fixie-2454/ . Considering building up a new one one of these days with some random components and frames I have lying around...
