Critical Cycles Classic Fixed-Gear Single-Speed Bike with Pista Drop Bars, Midnight Blue, 43cm/X-Small
Critical Cycles fixed-gear bicycles are hand built for the commuter lifestyle with a tag-welded steel frame that comes with horizontal dropouts and a component set that is ideal for commuting around town, riding on the beach boardwalk and exercise or endurance cycling. This all-new model comes with Pista handlebars which closely mimic the shape of track bars providing more clearance for the arms when sprinting out of the saddle then any other road bar shape. The fixit includes a flip-flop hub so that you can ride it as fixed-gear or easily switch cogs and cruise on your freewheel like a standard single-speed. Also, you shouldn’t have worry about potholes and rough asphalt with your Wanda tires that have been optimized for city riding. The bottom bracket comes sealed cartridge on every bike, so moisture or dirt will never cause problems. We’ve carefully selected Protect cranks, Sun run freewheel, KMC chain, Well-Go pedals, Stainless Steel Spokes and Prom ax brakes, to make sure that your bike will be dependable day-in-day-out and for many years to come. Included with your bike is three sizes of Allen wrench and a Cone wrench so that you can have all the tools you need build your own bike. Available in frame sizes 43cm, 49cm, 53cm, 57cm, 60cm and several colors to choose from. Critical Cycles offers the best selection of urban lifestyle bicycles anywhere.

looks amazing and took less than 45 minutes to assemble I bought the 43cm frame and it suits me perfectly.I am 5’3″ in height so reaching the ground is fine.Also, I opted to flip the hub to single speed because I am not a fan of fixed gear.I would recommend getting a portable bike pump because tires in general naturally lose pressure!I have been riding the bike now for over a month (4 miles total commute per day x 5 days a week x 4 weeks + 5 mile ride on Sundays x 4 ~100 miles) and don’t have any problems with the bike…
Lasts a good 15k with minor repairs UPDATE: My 2nd Critical Cycles Bike I got is well over 20 thousand miles now, without any serious repairs (other than a truing that was caused by a fall, and my negligence really)—After about 10 to 15k miles and 2 years, the moving parts of the first one were no more holding up so I got myself a second one, and the second one is over 10k miles too and will probably cause the same problems after another 5k miles.Here is the average life span of different parts in my…
Thanks for helping me fly through New York Excellent! I rode the bike for 3 months day and night up and down Manhattan and Brooklyn. The quality is really good, even better than in more expensive bikes I’ve had. The bike is really sturdy and it looks awesome (I’ve been stopped many times a day by people who wanted to know what brand it is because they simply loved the clean look and the color combination – I removed the rubber grips on the handlebar but didn’t modify it in any other way).The only cons I can find are: 1. the brake…
