Premium GOLDEN Fixed-Gear Bicycle GC-Fixie - Lightweight Urban Commuter Bike for Men & Women - Perfect for City Riding, Exercise, and Hipster Style

So I bought this bike for my girlfriend who wanted her own singlespeed. She has put about 1000 miles on it now in the last year and so far it has been super dependable. I'm getting ready to change the chain on it and that's all the maint. done so far. Someone had mentioned the tires were cheap, these have lasted and look brand new. I must divulge the fact that she stands 4'11" and is light. That may be the reason the tires have lasted. I have posted a few pictures because I have modified the bike and want to make that clear so if you were going to keep the bike as is, this will not be a good review for you. I added drop bars with new brake handles, kept the original brakes themselves just new cables to reach. New Brooks leather saddle, platform pedals and a new stem. We have several bikes, but this is her go to bike for just messing around on the greenways or open road riding on flatter terrain. All in all, I would recommend this bike for a beginner as well as a more seasoned rider who wants a solid foundation to build a steel framed singlespeeder. The bike had a few small blemishes when arrived but nothing that would raise an eyebrow, mostly around the chain stays. The workmanship of the welds is fair, I believe they have been ground down before painting. After a year of good riding there is no sign of stress cracks or failure in the frame and don't expect them. The pink is very vibrant and has not faded, and again, I will add the fact that this may not fit your standards for a review because we never leave our bikes out in the elements, so I can't say how a similar bike would look if left outside all the time. I would buy this bike again. The only down fall is the weight. Like they say, steel is real. And she is real. There's a formula for bikes, light, strong, cheap. You can have two of them, but never all three. If it's light and strong, it won't be cheap. So on and so forth. Anyhow buy this bike, get out there and tear up the roads with it. She can handle it.
