most fixie riders i know have a front brake, at least the ones who are less concerned with looking hardcore.

i think its the law in a lot of cities now that they have to.

haha brakes are for sissies. Im a fixie rider. Once you learn how to stop then you dont really need brakes. Even though i have almost been hit a few times. bad drivers.

I would really like the mini fixie, but i know its gonna be way overpriced

just from the looks of it, its running velocity deep v's, which are a pretty cheap wheel anyway

It is said to be priced at under £300, which is affordable even if it might overpriced for what it is.

Looks like the site is live. http://www.cooperbikes.com/

Kinda pricey, but I don't know enough about bike components to know if it's a good value or if you are just paying for the name.

not really. car manufacturers should stick to cars and cars only. they should spend their time improving the car, not create toys that others already make. take Ferrari and all the junk they sell with their logo on it, for the spoiled little kids out there. you should see all the sh!t they sell

That's wayyyy too much money for a fixed gear bicycle. The fixie scene has gotten way out of hand IMO.

Fixie?

The bike is probably going to be very very overpriced. Pay 10% for the bike, 90% for the name.
