At this price point, this is an outstanding deal. As has been mentioned, some of the accessories are not the top quality. I've replaced the brake levers and the seat (~$35 total) but everything else was fine for me. The frame is very solid, and have no complaints about welds, either from a cosmetic or quality standpoint. The rims are fine; I'm not sure how durable the tubes and tires will be, but they are cheap to replace (and you should spend $6 to get a spare tube anyway). This does require assembly; being a fixie, you should learn to do the work yourself (it's simple and takes 30 minutes to assemble from the box). You will have to do this over time anyway. If you don't like assembly, then you should buy a bike from a shop that will do the work for you.

I have to say this is a pretty solid bike. I don't understand where others complained about assembling it. It pretty much comes put together for the most part and all you have to do is put in the front wheel and handlebars. I did bring it in to my local bike shop to make sure everything was done correctly and for a tune up and it's been smooth sailing since. I live in Brooklyn and have taken this bike over all 3 local bridges (Brooklyn, Manhattan & Williamsburg), it's also pretty light weight which is helpful for the city.
It's the most pleasurable bike I've had since I was a kid with my Huffy.
Highly recommend this bike if you're looking for a good city bike.

I purchased this bike to get into fixed gear riding. I didn't want to spend a ton of money on a bike/hobby i may not pursue, so i snagged this deal to try it out. Overall this bike is great, but there are some things that aren't as good as they could be. The welds are strong but do not look very nice in some areas, the pedals were cheap and i immediately upgraded to some with cages, the seat is decent but nothing great, and the brakes aren't the best but do work (if you're gonna ride a brakeless fixed then this doesn't matter). The bike came with no instructions but was pretty easy to assemble but it required two sets of hands sometimes. This is a really good bike to start riding fixed on, however, i plan to upgrade and swap parts as i go and urge anyone else to do the same. If you're unsure of what size to get, I am 5'11" and bought a 58cm frame.
