Anyone here own one?

I am just looking for a cheap single/fixed gear bike around town.
I happened to run into this one and for less $400 shipped to my door, I don't think I can do any better.

Would like to hear your input if you have or had one.

TIA

Take it apart when new, grease everywhere, BB shell, hubs, headset, reinstall to spec. True/round/dish/tension/stress relieve wheels and it will be fine.

I see a lot of pretty 'lowend' stuff, like bikes from Walmart, for tunes. And no, they aren't 13 pound wunderbikes but if assembled correctly, they work just fine. Yesterday was a Trek..complete with a one-piece crank/riveted on chainrings..a little lube, tightening, cables and hpusing and it works fine.

The above is no exception..just needs some decent wrench 'laying on of the hands'...
