Pure Fix Original Fixed Gear Bike Frame Set

I had no problems with this frame. It arrived in perfect condition and looks great. The one small problem I had was that the seatpost is a 25.8mm, not a 25.4mm as the description says, so I had to return the seatpost and clamp I ordered at first. A 28.6mm seatpost clamp works like a charm. I got some great Mavic/Origin8 wheels from Harris Cyclery.

I just got this frame set in the mail and it is great. Way better than what I expected. It performs just as well as my more expensive track frames. It was delivered on time and packaged like it was made to withstand a freaking explosion. Nothing was bent or scratched. Love it! I would recommend this frame set to anyone who wants a quality product.

Could not be happier with this purchase! Frame was delivered in just 2 days with standard shipping to my house in Canada (Ottawa, ON). It was in great condition with no marks or scratches and came with a headset. Was not expecting it to have the PURE FIX decals on it however they are just stickers and can easily be removed. Would highly recommend this frame to anyone looking for an inexpensive frame for a fixie/single speed build.

I picked this frame set up because I cracked the bottom bracket shell on my daily ride, which was a sweet aluminum Leader frame. Although this frame is a good deal heavier than that feather wait racing frame, it's surprised me how much I've grown to love this frame. The geometry is fairly aggressive, you will probably be leaning pretty far forward. You should also note that the fork doesn't have a rake at all, it's just straight up straight, which also lends to the bikes aggressiveness. The weight is pretty middle of the road, I've ridden heavier frames, and I've ridden lighter frames.As far as cheap online fixies go, this bike will not disappoint.Pros:Cheap, for 90 dollars or so, this is a really good deal.Solid construction and quality welds. I take this thing down small stair sets and curbs at full speed all the time, and this thing has taken everything I can throw at it. I'm not a light person either mind you.Aggressive, easy to go fast.Versatile, I use this as my every day city speeder, but I also do a bit of freestyle nonsense on it, and I've even played bike polo on it before, though there are better options out there for that.Cons.On the heavy side.You need to get this frame built up by a shop, or at the very least someone who knows what they are doing. My frame had over-sprayed paint in the bottom bracket and the head tube, so the threads needed to be cleaned.Stupid Pure Fix sticker on the side you need to peel off or everyone will think you're a scrub. Good news is after you peel the sticker off, you'll get lots of compliments on your new bike.If you're looking for a cheap ride to whip around town and not worry too much about thrashing it, this is the one.

The package arrived quick and on time. However when I started opening it, I saw two huge scratches that dug deep into the chrome plating on the back part of the frame. It was wrapped in foam and bubble wrap but somehow it still got scratched. It couldn't have happened during shipping because the package is packed nicely and there is nothing in the box that moves around or could have bumped into it. There is also medium-light corrosion on the inside of the tubes where the seat post and the fork goes. Also, inside the tube where the fork is, there is a pretty jagged edge where they welded it together. You would need to file it down or take it to a professional bike shop for them to prepare it with their specialty tools. The frame is also pretty heavy. It's not as bad as a Walmart bike, but it is definitely not the best quality steel. I've been riding for a while and most weekend riders know that a quality steel frame is just as light as aluminum. If I had the money or time, I definitely would not buy this frame again, but it's an acceptable price for what you're getting.Update: A week after assembling my whole bike and riding.The frame is solid, but it is not really made for you to turn into a fixie. It seems that they took the blueprints for a track bike and made it heavier and drilled holes in it for brakes. I tried to install my front brakes, only to realized that they do not fit. You can attach them on, but the hole was either drilled too high or the cut out for the front axle is not deep enough. I've tried three different brakes from three different manufacturers; Shimano, SRAM, Decomp. No matter how you adjust it, you cannot adjust it enough so that the brake pads will reach the rim. It's not the rim either because I've swapped it between on my other bikes. The brake pad will be sitting halfway on your tire. Unless there are some super long brakes that I don't know about, you can't install front brakes unless you modify the fork. Since I didn't want to ride without a brake at all, I was forced to install a back brake. Having just the back brake is not very safe but it's better than none. The back brake also has very little clearance. You cannot have the axle anywhere other than halfway in the drop outs because the brake pads will also end up on the tire if it's too far back. If you put it anymore forward, your tire will rub against the rim. I have standard 700 wheels with a regular sized wheel and tube. This leaves you very little room to adjust your chain tension. Forget about having different size sprockets if you're riding on a flip flop hub unless you want to carry an extra chain. Again, this is because it is just a track frame that they modified to let you install brakes on, whether or not you can use them is a different story. The headset that I originally ordered also did not fit. You have to get very specific parts. The headset is hard to find. Out of the dozens at the bike shop I went to, only 1 would fit and I was forced to get one that did not match the color scheme of my bike. The bottom bracket is also somewhat hard to find. Origin 8 is the better of the two that I found to fit. I definitely do not recommend this frame unless you are trying to build a low quality track bike and not a fixie.

After beginning to purchase Pure Fix Cycles products, I wont but from anyone else; this frame is no exception. The color is true to the photo posted and it comes in various sizes which really helps out us jolly green giants! Many others have posted about receiving damaged products, but I have not run into that case with this frame or the white wheel set I purchased at the same time. It was shipped to me in 4 days with the free 7-day shipping. Could not be happier with the Pure Fix Cycles products!

I bought this frame for a new build. The most succinct description of this frame is this: it was cheap for a reason.The bottom bracket shell is not properly tapped, and the threads (all of them, not just the BB) are full of paint -- not just slightly over-sprayed, but literally covered from end to end. I've taken mine to a bike shop to be re-tapped, you probably will need to as well.If you plan to use brakes with this bike, make sure you get LONG reach calipers. The brake reach is very far.This frame is surprisingly light, which may be a pro or a con, depending on what you plan to do with it.PROS:- Cheap- Fairly light- Is a bicycle frameCONS:- Fairly light- Bad paint job chips easily (mine came with chips already)- Extremely wide (135mm?) rear axle spacing- ALL threads (including BB shell) are FULL of paint- Bottom bracket shell is not properly tapped- Very long caliper reach

let's see, it's new, comes with the headset, well packaged, and simple to assemble. that's one fine beginning. so I slap on a front brake, bottom bracket, seatpost, stem, straightbar, and wheels and we're off. well, with stiff track wheels and that straight fork, oboy, make sure your dentures are in tight when you encounter tracks. does what you'd expect for a track bike on the streets.

The frame came packaged very nicely. Not a dent or scratch on it and I received it very fast. It's very clean and simple and great for anyone who's looking to build a bike. Great item for the price! Totally worth it. Plan to order more from Pure Fix Cycles to complete my new bike.

Excelente me encanta, como en los viejos tiempos un cuadro de carrera de acero 😍

Good frame, nice paint. Be sur to have all the extra pieces cause you only have the frame here

Sólido, incluye headset, tiene también tornillos para rack trasero y para dos ánforas así como la placa y sticker de la marca. Buen cuadro a buen precio.

No problems with the quality, was assembled with may new and used parts. I used a carbon fork from another State Fixed gear instead of the chromoly grey fork supplied. Sold the bike as a single speed to a youth..
