just moved to brooklyn... noticed alot of people have bikes. I wanted to get a fixed gear bike under 500 but I don't know much about bikes. would it be cheaper to order one than to go to a local bike shop? and what bike would you recommend? I would like to get a flat black frame if I can find one.

Like Ruffian mentioned, for Under 5 bills your best bet would be Bikesdirect. I would second the Mercier Kilo TT, or even the TT pro.

so are these 2 bikes totally custom?
- yes totally. but plenty of plaaces to build it in this area of brooklyn.e-pill
- if you get something like this make it a free wheel with a front break.e-pill
- i think i could put one of these together myself... then just get it tunedEtype
- One of those Aerospokes would probably eat your budget :)Ruffian
- Fucking nasty frame.rounce

If that's your budget and you know what you want your bike to look like, take the pics of the bike to a bike shop and ask them if they can build something like that within your budget. Or DIY.
