This will be my first time buying a fixed gear. Right now I'm doing my research as to what is going to be the best bike for me. I'm looking for something around a 52cm frame. Like I said it's my first time buying so I'm not looking for top dollar professional or anything. My price range is around $300. I'll be using my bike on the road. Also, I'd like to have a front brake just to be safe. That's basically what I'm working with. So from personal experience, what are some key things to look for when buying a bike? What are some good brands?
