If you’re looking for a cheap new bicycle, BikesDirect just added a whole bunch of single-speed and fixed-gear bikes to their inventory. The 2010 Motobecane Track is what I’m currently eyeing. Head on over to BikesDirect and have a look around at their larger selection and get riding!
i have this bike,
BikesDirect – That is a very cool idea … Purchasing a BikesDirect from the manufacturer one thing that always shocked me was the price of a decent bike from a normal retailer. I bought a trek a while back an wasn’t really impressed with it especially considering how much I paid for it! I think a company like this BikesDirect has a great idea here … I take it the company mentioned above is the same as this one – BikesDirect.com?

joe, why do you say it is a much better deal? I’m looking at the kilo TT stripper, versus motobecane track, and the motobecane looks a lot nicer with all black parts, only main difference i see is the lugged fork on the mercier versus the one that motobecane has (what is the name of that type of fork?) which has a lot to do with reducing vibration to handlebars.
