It's an OK bike. The quality wasn't what I was expecting. I've been tooling arround on a fixie I picked up on ebay a few years ago for 1/2 the price of this bike. All in all the bikes are very similiar. I was expecting a better frame and components on the Retrospec but... I guess a higher prices doesn't necessarily equal better quality. That said, it's a decent bike. I'm not sure its worth the price though.

I rarely do reviews on products but I just could not resist for this one.
Let me start off by saying I've been road cycling for about four years now and own a few italian made columbus steel bikes and a $6k Wilier carbon road bike.

I was impressed right away with how well the bike was packed in the box. Assembly should be fine even for someone not familiar with bikes.
The cranks are already assembled to the bottom bracket so no need to have a bike shop put it together for you. Comes with "Wellgo" pedals with removable foot cages. I would suggest using a bike pedal wrench that's about $10 at your local bike shop instead of a crescent wrench when you install the pedals so you don't accidentally scratch the crank arm. Either one will work though. The 41mm Deep V wheels are great looking. Solid build quality for the price. There is a single sprocket on each side of the rear wheel so before installing the rear wheel make sure you decide if you want ride the freewheel... Read more

This is a great quality bike for a great price! I had the bike un-packaged and on the road in about thirty minutes after delivery(even with flipping the hub). The ride was fantastically smooth, and the aesthetics of this bike make it a real head turner. Anyone considering a fixie should put this bike at the top of their list.
