1 of 1 people found the following review helpful Fantastic Quality, Great Packaging, Fun Ride, July 9, 2012 By  heffesse - See all my reviews This review is from: Retrospec Beta Fixie Single Speed Fixed Gear Bicycle with Flip Flop Hub (Sports) I love my new "Ghandi" (Black and Gold) from Retrospec. First of all, it arrived in perfect condition. The box is so sturdy it may have to be kept in my apartment as furniture. Inside the box the bike was packaged so carefully I couldn't believe it. Put it this way, my $6000 Carbon roadie wasn't even packaged this well. The bike came with the rear wheel assembled on the frame on the fixed-gear side, which is fine because that is the way I intend to ride it. The gold wheels that came were 43mm and very aerodynamic in shape. I tested them on my truing wheel and they spun true. The frame alignment was perfect and the geometry is very comfortable. The seat is pretty comfortable, and the grips are really comfortable and the gold handle-bars look amazing. As an avid cyclist I got this thing just for fun, but I'm blown away by the quality.

Product Description

At Retrospec Bicycles we take our wheels very seriously. Wheel engineering starts at the core. Retrospec Beta Series bikes feature silky smooth KT hubs with a flip-flop hub in the rear. The hub comes pre-assembled with a fixed-gear cog and a freewheel, so it's up to you if you want to ride it fixed-gear or coast like you would on a regular bike. Front and rear wheels come with 32 spokes and are built with lightweight 41mm Super Deep-V rims. This is the perfect size rim. Deep enough for optimum performance, and any deeper is just too heavy. All wheels come with a resilient nylon rim tape and CST Super-HP tubes and tires (700x23c), in our opinion the best tires on earth. Remarkable Frame Geometrics. Bar-spin clearance, no toe-overlap, and flat top tube—Retrospec is the only bicycle company in the world that can make these three claims about one frame! All Beta Series bicycles have bar-spin clearance on all size frames (41-60cm). If you aren’t tricking out on your fixie now, you probably will some day soon because your new Retrospec fixie makes it easy and fun. Also, the frame is uniquely designed to avoid any chance of a toe overlap. The front wheel is positioned with exactly enough distance so that you don’t have to worry about rubbing up on the toe clips when your strapped in. All of our bicycles size 49cm and larger come with a flat top tube for a traditional track-style frame.
