    Kona are one of the best 'off the shelf' bikes for sub €700 for sure

    On Track in Cook Street in Dublin (website here) are worth a look and last time I looked had bikes in that price range. I'm not connected with the shop but I've been impressed with their enthusiasm every time I've picked up stuff in there.

    If it were me, it'd be the pearson. Braze ons, better tubing from what I can see, better components, and doesn't look as garish as that kona.

    What are you intending using it for?

    Any reason you're not getting a road bike if you don't mind me asking? I could never picture myself on a fixie, It'd probably go horribly wrong for me :pac:

    I've got one. Just like not having to think about changing gears if Im only dooting about a few miles. Less gears, so less to potentially go wrong with it...
