Fixed Gear

[Steviebike]

I'm interested if anyone knows where to buy a fixed gear road bike in Taiwan?

Not a silly one, meant as a fashionable ride but, one that has brakes (so I can stop) and a road going geometry (as opposed to velodrome).

Only choice I've seen so far is the Specialized Langster...

Cheers

Met Ben the owner of Bears Bike at the Super 8 race.

He was talking about his bikes and he has got a good following and good looking bikes too.

Maybe that's what you are looking for. Tell him I referred you, maybe get a good deal.

Let me know if it works out.

There is a great shop in Taipei that specializes in fixed gear bikes. They just built up my frame 2 weeks ago. Check outhttp://breakbrake17.com/v1/. Let me know what you think.

Hey,

Thanks for that. I've heard of breakbrake they build street fixed gear bikes (good ones). I'm after a road geometry fixed gear. Like a normal road bike but, fixed! Think mudguards and frame fitted pumps.
Same goes for Bear Bikes, they build street fixed gear, which is great and good fun but for riding 50 miles at my age?! I really like the fixed/street scene though. You seen Fixed Gear Girl Taiwan website?
