... in fact, it looks pretty good for a Walmart bike, and the price is certainly right.
Dunno why people say it's Armageddon or whatever -- I'll bet it's not even a fixed gear, no matter what the name is. (Though it might be easy to convert to a fixed gear.) Being a single speed, it skips the thing that Walmart screws up the most -- gears -- so it may very well be a decent bike.
Of course, not giving a size is not a good sign. Though if it's a 700c, looking at the frame I'm guessing a 32" standover height? Kind of big for a "one size fits all" bike.
After the outrage over the urban outfitters bikes, it's difficult to get worked up over wal-mart jumping on the same bandwagon.
What is 'fixed-speed'? I assumed the bike was a fixie, but I guess a SS is also 'fixed' at one speed. Oh well who cares..at least it has brakes.
way better deal than one of those Urban Outfitters fixies.
