TBH
I think allot of the sarcastic advice being doled out here is pure ignorant - veiled by suggesting that the OP deserves a shit bike because he is considering a Create.
The fact that the OP is here asking advice shows that he is interested in doing the best thing and is researching whats best to do. He may not be part of a wider cycling community & may not have access to people who can advise him properly, but its people like him that will widen the cycling community which is exactly what is needed to get better facilities and safer environments for us all. So go easy on the newbies.
BTW, I think the closed notion of the fixed gear community & their slagging off of hipsters, newbies etc. is hilarious. If you read through this forum you will notice that the vast majority of FG & SSers put a huge amount of effort into their look & trick parts for their bikes... Just as much effort as the hipsters. There are an arrogant group of snobs within the FG community who think they are better than others for some obscure reason - mostly because they believe they are not fashionistas, where the opposite is actually true, There is one protagonist who I'm referring to in particular & has come to my attention on many occasion on these boards - as he seems to act the arsehole in as many threads as possible.
i think i know who he's talking about
