What one would you buy??

Postby gumby » Wed May 30, 2012 8:30 am

i'm gonna get a fixie and am looking at 3 different ones - anyone riding these or got any advice?


Charge Plug
Fuji Feather
Bianchi Pista

I'm thinkig the Fuji at the moment because the black looks smooth, but have heard a lot of good things about the other two

Much of a muchness really. They are all fairly comparable. In this instance, pick whichever you think looks best, these are at the upper end of off the shelf.

Which pista? Steel or alloy? Or this one?

Maybe the feather has a marginally better parts list than the Bianchi. Depends what sort of deal you can get.

pick the one with the best paint colour. you'll probably end up swapping out most components over time anyway, and good paint's not real cheap.

What munga said. I would also suggest the Cooper Spa, painfully beautiful IMO.

My nephew has the chrome Bianchi Pista and it seems a good bike except for the unicrown fork. Looks a bit gappy.

good shout - looking at the chrome pista, think it's the best looking, but the black feather looks decent as well, and is cheaper. decisions, decisions :D

The Cooper Spa is as good or better looking than the Bianchi, but I like the Championship 50.

If you are looking at spending serious coin... i would definately give Kinfolk a look (http://www.wegotways.com/kinfolkbicycles/)

custom frame/paint to order. the builder is a 70+ master craftsman in Japan and handpainted in New York (i think)...

have a look at some of their builds they are definately up there with the best on the planet IMO.

Go the Fuji as best bang for buck.
