>peugeot is selling brand new steel framed fixies, can be found under 500 euroswhat the fuck? it kinda slaps frfr
It's a Hi-Ten steel frame and fork with no-name parts and weighs over 11kg. So the same quality level as all those generic fixies, but you pay 200€ more for the name and styling. Also:>36/18 gearingWhat the fuck were they thinking? That's unusably low on the road and gives you 1 (one) skid patch.
>>2050593500€for a steel framed bikewith generic componentsnot even a deraileurEC headset>it kinda slapswhy are people always that deranged when it comes to understanding the value or peice of bicycles
Peugeot has enough nostalgia hipster appeal that they could have made it from tange prestige or something and charged an extra $500 and hipsters would have lapped it upBut this is too expensive for casuals and too shitty for people who like bikes, I don't see this going anywhere
why are the tubes so fatthis is disgusting fixie fags will eat literal dogshit and tell their friends about it if you are going to get a shitty fixie get a state or mercier and then its at least 300
>>2050600And if you want a fixed gear that's actually good, you'll have to start with a 900€+ frameset and build it up from there. You're paying as much or more than for a geared road bike of the same quality level. All the big manufacturers have pulled out of the niche when the hype was gone, and low production numbers lead to higher price, there's no way around that.
>>2050601or a 80s road bike for 100 and write NJS on it with red crayon
>>2050593>fake welded on lugging
>>2050593A 1995 Kona Kileau with rigid forks weighs a pound less and that is an actual mountain bike. kek.
>>2050732worst part is that it isnt even. The lugs are investment cast and its plainly lugged. The lug just looks so ugly with all the slampigesque thick shit that you're mistaking it for a bad weld in OPs pic.Literally just your average continuation of the crime against humanity that the bicycle industry is.But I meam hey: They're not even ripping off the young players but only the insufferable and braindead hipsters. I'm fine with that.
>>2050743this weighs about the same too
>>2050593
>>2050593I like it
>>2050593Nice to see pugs back on the market. They made some beauties bitd.
>>2052620>>2053091Based OG pug appreciators, here's another
>>2050593idk shit about these hipster bikes, why are the brakes near the steam instead of above the drops?
>>2053148Because the kinds of people who buy those bikes won't use the drops, their hands will always be on top of the bars
