FIXED GEAR - BIKES, FRAMES & INFO PAGE memphisbargainbicycles.com
Any novice needs to undertand the safety issues concerned with riding a bike originally used on a track for racing. Not intended as street bikes because of the difficulties in braking, they've become quite popular.
Most bike shops have a problem with the insurance liability & do not offer much in the way of parts or assistance. On-line shopping is one alternative. I've found Ben's Cycle to be a good source.

Let me anticipate a question often asked:
Where do you get your bikes?
Answer: ALWAYS from legitimate sources.
I've experienced first hand the emptiness followed by the pain when something of value turns up missing.
I hate thieves!!
Do you have the Serial # from your bike saved somewhere? Police will need it to track down a stolen bike. Legitimate pawn shop dealers report traceable info to the police who can then match up the item to your report. You'll be required to reimburse the honest pawn broker the amount it was pawned for but that's fair & is usually not that much compared to what the bike may be worth.
I'm offered bikes or buy them from various sources where ownership is without question.
Finished bike prices reflect costs, parts & then the work that goes into them without regard to a profit. The bottom line is that you a good deal no matter how you do the math.
