Felt Brougham
By liz on Monday, Feb 09 2009.
What they say:
The Brougham begins life as custom drawn double butted tubes. The quick and agile track geometry brings the Brougham to life offering the perfect balance of performance handling to navigate the urban landscape. The flip-flop rear hub allows two gearing options, and the no nonsense trimmed handlebar help breeze through traffic congestion. The Brougham is the perfect choice for the hassle free, fun filled machine, bringing a “ready to go” attitude that matches its owner.

For my first fixie im diggin
For my first fixie im diggin it. Will probably change out the pedals and bars though. Bike rides and looks fantactic though.
i got this bike a while ago
i got this bike a while ago changed just about everything on it except the bottom bracket and the saddle and seat post wich imna be changing soon its a good frame !
Just picked up my Broski
Just picked up my Broski about a week ago. Things that I suggest...switch out the shitty pedals for some BMX style platforms & some toe straps. Be wary of the tires...word is they suck and you should expect to get a flat pretty soon if you haven't yet. Other than that, no complaints so far.

What? Even without the breaks??? If that's the case, I might reconsider because that could be a seriouse problem.
Love this bike got it for
Love this bike got it for rippin and around campus and couldnt be happier i put a selle san marco ponza saddle on, black and white, and replaced the bars with stubbies and ripped the brakes off and am very happy with it for what it cost
for being a first time fixie
for being a first time fixie / ss rider, i love this bike. its fast, its light, its fun... it has good components out of the box. i dont like the bars, ill be changing those out. i bought this bike to ride, not do stunts on. im really suprised at the ease of riding, everything just feels "right" if that makes sense. im 5'8" so i picked up a 54cm frame. it feels the right size for my short ass self, but pain in the butt is my toes will smash into the front rim if im not careful. not sure if i can fix that by a shorter crank... but i just make sure i am toe down on the crank when i turn. i just plan ahead. otherwise everything is great. the color combo is love or hate. ive read a lot of people that hate it, i have friends that love it and i like it. so no complaints here. one thing i wish they would have done is machine the wheels where the brakes grab. might make for cleaner looking wheels (esp the white rim) and better brake performance. otherwise, great bike.. local company to me, and bought from a local shop. i feel good about my purchase : )
