    Seems weird to me because he lists the hub seperatley and says "new barkes"(sic)"front and rear" -

    new rear break on a fixie? has the person putting this ad up even ridden it?

    maybe i'm casting aspersions on an honest seller, just seems odd to me. The 'must be gone by end of week' thing is a bit shifty too.

    Here's a pic of it anyway.

    I've a front and rear brake on my fixie. Some people say why do I have it there but I think why not!

    I even upgraded the brakes and put a new rear one on.

    Fair enough - but look at the picture, it has no rear brake...

    Why would it have new sets of brakes after 2 months anyway, those CREATE fixies come with both front and rear brakes in the first place and colour anodised rear hubs and I'd say the price is a little too near the NEW price

    good point. Its prolly legit, who knows, but just wanted to post it incase some boardie looks and realises "thats my bike!" etc.

    Seems too weird an ad not to raise an eyebrow.

    Fair play for posting it.
    I'd say he's saying new rear brake because he took it off as soon as he got it and it's like new.

    He or she may have felt they had to be part of the gang and took the rear brake off!

    Problem is, even if it was could that boardsie admit to formerly owning a Create fixie...

    I think Velo has it with the barkes, he probably took them off to fit in. But then realised he would never fit in on a Create fixie... Hence the urgent sale.

    I actually think they look nice, plain and simple looking (no puns please);)
