I'm looking to purchase a fixie (fixed-gear) bike in Korea and I was wondering if anyone has any information as where to look. I have noticed many Korea riders with them so I know they are around.
Any information (location, sites, etc.) would be great. Also, any fixie riders that read this, I'd love to get in contact with you. Set up some rides, etc.

Cheers

Just a smidge better than a brokie. I would say the big advange is you are less likely to get dirt/grease on your emo kit.

Fixies have no brakes and it takes an exta level of agility and physical fitness to handle them well. My knees are probably too old for a fixie, but gawd I look forward to the bike messenger eye candy when I get home!

I hear you, fixedgeargallery has some beautiful machines.

Did you see this one that was on Bikesnob?

Crockpot, your jokes are pretty funny

Fixies are lame. 9 out of 10 people who ride them are just lamers, doing it in an attempt to be cool. Even though the bike does not perform very well at all and is designed mainly for doing crazy tricks that they do not even try to do.

Hipsters these days.....

Fixed Gear Jerk is selling his bike in the buy/sell forum right now.

He paid around 2.5 for it and is selling it for 1.5

He got it from LSD Bikes near dongdaemun stadium.

Before you buy your fixie. Make sure you have those tight pants made partly from spandex and the thick black glasses that you do not even need for vision correction.

Without those things, you'll just look silly riding a fixie.

Oh yeah, you'll also need to study up on new underground bands, make sure your parents have paid your trust fund money this month, and learn the liberal viewpoint on every single issue so you can re-hash that perspective as if it is your own.

I like to change gears when I encounter topographical or airflow variations. I also like coasting. I can't do these things on a "fixie."

that's why fixies build MADCORE FITNESS!
