We have here a well built Fixie. I will list the parts that I bought because this was built from scratch. Overall the condition is good, and rides VERY smooth I loved it. There are scratches on the frame from use, but you can easily just repaint is since I just spray painted it anyway. The crank arms are generic from two different products but each the same length of 170mm I believe. The rear tube just recently deflated on me, and I don't have a replacement so no test rides at the moment. Here are the parts list. Probably the most unique part of this bike that I don't see too often is the quill stem-styled threadless stem I put on which gives it a true track bike feel. 54cm frame, good for anyone around 5'6 to 5'10ish probably as I am 5'9 and its perfect. 46/16 gear ratio for VERY easy commute!

Components:
Nashbar Track 54cm Frame
Flyxii Carbon Road Fork
Retrospec 40mm Deep V Fixie/Single-Speed (16t Cog/Freewheel)
White 1 1/8 unsealed headset (From SGV Biccyles)
Shun 46t Single-Speed Crank
Nashbar Road Bike Handlebars (44mm?)
Dimension 26.0mm (clamp size) 90mm (length) 125deg. Threadless Stem
VPS 68x118mm Sealed Bearing Square Taper Bottom Bracket
Aluminum Kalloy UNO 27.2mm Seatpost
Black Velo Saddle

So a $600ish value (I did not include little things on here) with some cool stuff. Don't fall for those steel-framed bikes that weigh a ton, and fall apart. get this lightweight fixed gear! Letting go for $450 lmk! Located in San Diego

Thank you for attributing that Honda owners own fixed gears. I needed to know that.

In my head I thought the same thing. ._.

Top speed wasn't anything NEAR impressive. I chose the 46/16 gear ratio for easy commuting with no worries of having to pedal hard. Top speed for this is around 30mph. Obviously you can change to have a greater gear ratio to up that top speed!
