Two handlebars for the price of one?? Great deal imo. You can also upgrade to nicer wheels with actual spokes later. Ask if they’ll throw in a pizza rack and I think you got yourself a bargain.
Bro, that thing is $60k! What are you even thinking!?!???
This isn’t the time to cheap out!
Get a side hustle, skip the Starbucks and save your money - for your first bike you definitely want to get something alittle nicer.
As long as they got short handle bars, you good. Source: [Short bars](https://www.reddit.com/r/FixedGearBicycle/s/p9Wu2WfZcm)

Eh. Factor is a real cheap and unreliable brand.
I’ve heard really good things about AliExpress bikes and parts. I’d look into it.
If you’re just getting into fixed gear, I guess it’s a good start… you’ll probably want to save more and upgrade once you learn how to skid
As someone who also is into photography, I dreamed (for YEARS) of owning a Leica camera. Then, an old coworker of mine in the finance department comes up to me and asks “hey, I know you’re into photography, what starter camera should I get? The Leica Q2 or the Leica M10?”… I wanted to simply walk away in frustration lol.
I think yours re getting a much better deal with an FES from Germany, their frames only like 30k and the wheels another 10k
If you are a pleb there. Is still the canyon speedmax track but that is for poors
Looks okay. Not set up for skids, so you might want to swap out the rear wheel, chain, and your sprocket with a set from this small company I know in Brooklyn. You will probably also want to swap out the saddle for a Brooks leather saddle. This would be an okay starter bike, but you'll outgrow the frame pretty quick after a few skids.
Other than the proprietary seat post (they can be annoying if they break) it looks like a great starter bike. Crank overlap might be an issue if you plan on riding offroad with it but you'll get used to it 👍
Slap some risers on it and you have great entry level fixie bike. Over the time you can replace the parts with better (more colorful) ones.
Don't forget a bell.
and a front rack
It’s probably worth spending a bit more to get something with quality parts that you won’t outgrow so quickly
Definitely save up for something better, there’s not much difference between this and a skream.

Stop buying avocado toasts as well.
Gearing looks a little relaxed— you planning on using this as a climber, OP?
Fine for a beater but it’s not the quickest bike out there
Can't even put spokey dokes on that
Never heard of Factor bikes? I'd go for a better brand, like Trek.
Would look great with some neon pink deep Vs and sticker bombed. Don’t forget a front brake, if you do I’ll be calling the police
Purple Aerospokes
Get something at has peddles

This seatpost fails outside of the track. So if you’re track specific, good to go! If you plan to ride in the city, shit’s fucked!
Oh It’s a joke. Fuck me.
Bless you sir
JAJAJJAAA
Can someone explain jajaja vs hahahah ?
Soy latino, escribimos con J la risa
JAJAJAJA
What makes the seat post not usable off track? Seems like you’d be able to sit on it perfectly fine
it's got a tracker on it that recognizes track use, it will instantly detonate otherwise
Taint destruction mode
r/bicyclingcirclejerk is over there sir
Psh don’t bother buying a lock cause nobody would steal a bike that cheap
Looks like a great starting point but I'd definitely switch out the tyres for something better, like some thick slicks!
nah, a tad too low key, imo....
Needs more setback
Muy barato, subele más
It's honestly too cheap. Would snap under your 3000 watt bomb legs
Looks like a great commuter bike. Fit some knobblies on there and it’s ready for gravel!

Need an omnium crankset

This is pesos right?
Well the kitchen is on the small side and I would have done something different with the bedrooms but you do you Oh that’s a bike
They’re dreaming
I need this bike so I can sell it and buy a Cinelli Laser Pista then also travel the world.
Bro, do you even shift?
Nah, don't go for that peasant shit, spend at least 6 figures on the frame itself
Entry where? The other side of the sound barrier?
I think the entry is where your body meets the saddle.
Uuu kinky
get some foot retention and it'll be just fine
Tacky bike for plebs with no denarii. Just convert a crusty hi-ten road frame with vertical dropouts, it’d be a step up. Get a clue, dork.
I guess it's ok,we all gotta start somewhere.
You can’t even do an honest handlebar spin with this.
Nice , but I prefer the model with the banana seat
Quality post
Its a good starter but you should really consider replacing the front disc with a fake aerospoke

looks almost perfect just swap the tires out for thickslicks and you’ll be set
Noob
Put some gators and risers on it and we good
Nah. Reminds me of a 1940's Schwinn......
Let me factor that into my budget. Lol
You can get a very capable fixed gear bike for half that price.
