AVASTA Single-Speed Fixed Gear Urban Commuter Fixie Bike Flip Flop Hub Bicycle, Multiple Colors

in fact for the price as of this writing it’s a good deal. The same looking bike around my home is being sold from a local bike shop for over $350. As far as the product i received the package came securely packed and some damage was on non critical parts of the box that didn’t contact any components thanks to the secure packaging. it does require you to secure the front wheel, handles, peddles but overall it seems fairly intuitive esp if you’ve ridden bikes before and have had to adjust and lubricate them in the past ..with that said the instructions manual was decent esp compared nowadays lots of things sold online have manuals that are unclear vague or even missing. Pleasantly surprising to me was that all the tools you need are included and nothing was missing and even more important the front and rear brakes came adjusted and ready to go. i am an amateur with biking and repairs so needless to say again i am glad i didn’t have to adjust the brakes and feel this bike is a good bargain.

There are different strategies to buy bikes: either get an expensive one which lasts or buy 5-10 times cheaper ones with standard parts, replace parts from time to time and replace them every few years. I chose the second option because in a city environment, there is a considerable risk of having a bike stolen. An other advantage is that I can use a second bike as backup (for example in case of a flat tire). I use heavy chain locks and still had 3 years ago s city bike cut away. When choosing the second option, one must be prepared to upgrade parts immediately or after some time. I bike 100 Km every week to work (5000 km every year) and this now for 24 years here in the Boston area. Sun or rain, summer or winter. No exception, even not snow storms (During the pandemic of course, the biking stopped and I replaced it with more running). Since about 10 years, I use cheep one gear city bikes. The things which break fastest are pedals, or then bottom brackets. Also breaks. For this bike, I installed higher quality peddals immediately and also use a better front wheel. I'm prepared to have to change the bottom bracket after a year.

Assembled fine but tires wouldn’t pump any air. The main thing needed to ride… even used the appropriate attachment. Nothing. Seems like a busted tube.

This is the best budget singlespeed you can ever find. It was bult PROPERLY. The crankset is centered! If you measure from the downtube to each crank arm, the gap is the same. This one also has SEALED hub bearings! So is the bottom bracket! That's crazy nice for $300. Not only these things, but the seam on the rim is almost flawless! So many bikes at this price get all of these things wrong. This bike is a steal, buy it NOW. They deserve the sales, man!The saddle and stem are of my own choice. I also cut the steerer tube down.

Bike assembly basically requires installing the front wheel and seat, and adjusting the brakes. I had a bike shop do it for me because the nuts to install the front wheel were missing from the box getting destroyed in delivery. The bike had some scuff marks on the frame that took off the paint, but I didn't buy this bike as a trophy item so it didn't bother me too much. I used this to get around a mostly flat commuter town and I'm loving it so far. I wish the handlebars were a little wider to give the rider more control, and the wheels are typical road bike tires which are too skinny in my opinion. For the price I think this bike is worthwhile, but shipping needs to be improved greatly.

For the money, this is a decent bike: Steel frame fixed gear with 700C wheels. I was not expecting much, but it seemed to hit what I wanted in a fixed gear urban commuter. It has the attachment points for carriers and fenders. The wheels and tires are 700x25 with presta valves and rated for 90-110 psi. The wheels are aero-profile needing longer stems (60mm). I was looking for cro-moly steel (4130) frame, but this is 1020 steel frame and less money. The weight is light enough. The rim brakes are decent. The brake pads are grippy but could be better for adjustment. I did need to adjust the pads to grip the rim in the right place. Tools and reflectors are included. The instruction book is universal, and not specific to this bike. The only thing that needs to be assembled here is the front wheel, handlebar, seat post, and pedals. Check the fit and tighten other bolts. The pedals are good enough and clearly labeled for L or R. Put some grease on the pedal threads when you put them on. I added a bell and a water bottle cage. The attachment points and hardware are good. Seat is comfy. The 47 cm seems to be a good fit for me as I like the smaller frame for stand over height and casual riding. I am 5' 9". I like it.

The rear tire inflated like nothing. The front tire wouldn’t inflate. I suspect that the inner tubing is bad.Looked cool too bad I can’t ride it.

The rear tire had a damaged tube. I had to replace it. The bike was 90% assembled, but the handlebar stem was upside down and the handles and brakes where put on incorrectly. I attempted to contact the manufacturer by telephone and email with no immediate reply. Eventually the manufacturer did respond and sent me a replacement tube for the rear tire.
