I really like fixie bikes. Have made since that time I came across them. But if you're getting started, then finding fixies for saleat the appropriate price and in the ideal condition can appear a bit difficult at first. So where can the beginner learn those fixies for salethat suit his spending budget and criteria?
To start with it depends on whether you want to splash out for a new one, go second hand or simply like the pieces for a self-build. Basically you can find 4 main selections accessible to you.
1. Amazon.com
2. Ebay.com
3. Craigslist
4. Local Small Ads & Word Of Mouth
Amazon
This company has come on greatly since its early days and it now stocks a variety of fixie and fixed gear track bikes. You can find quite a lot of variety and many shiny things to seduce you. Just stick with the essentials. If you hate riding it (You won't!) you haven't lost a lot. The wonderful thing about Amazon.com is the low shipping charges.
Ebay.com
A double-edged sword is eBay. You get both new and used as well as some parts. However you are dealing with multiple sellers whom eBay will no police at all really until it's too late. So look out for evaluations and ratings of sellers. Don't be put off by one grumbling seller. You are searching for good and bad patterns. You can find a few great bargains on eBay if you browse enough.
Craigslist
This is tricky as Craigslist isn't what it used to be. Be Careful of scammers though. However again you can find some new and pre-used bargains. Stay local to your area so that you can see the bikes in person. Take a fixie expert if nervous about examining the bike.
Local Small Ads and Word Of Mouth
An incredibly powerful method. You are unlikely to find dubious characters and scams. The edge, besides seeing the bike before you purchase is that you can negotiate with the buyer direct. They are usually an ordinary Joe like you as well as me so don't be nervous. Again talk to a fixie buddy if you need to.
So there you have it. A quick and dirty approach to finding fixies for saleat a good price. It's not difficult if you are both patient and careful in what you do. Don't get interrupted and you and your fixie will live happily ever after.
