is it new? used? how old? what brand? what model? PICS!!!!!
ive gotten really into roadbikes the past month or so, tons of research. i actually plan to weld my own frame together from high-quality 853 Reynolds steel tubing over summer. I already have a road bike for training/racing, but now i need a fixed-gear for commuting.

I don't know too much about it besides the fact that its a Schwinn World Sport.

Its used. I got it for $90, its in decent shape. A few paint scratches and dings but no rust and newish tires.

Dunno, it did seem a little cheap.

Bike prices are up the ass around here since its a big city, huge demand.

I found it on craigs list.

I'm thinking about getting a fixy. Right now my main bike is a Kona mountain bike. Its great for trail riding as long as you don't plan on riding it off 5ft ledges. lol

Thats a pretty nice ride especially for $90. Its a Fixy right?

it's not my bike, but rather a commuter who lives in NYC.
i just really like the picture because he probably gets to work faster than that huge SUV in the background.

and tokyo has way more track bikes on the street than san francisco
