    I bought my girlfriend a cheap fixie hipster bike this morning

    I saw it on Bonktown for 99 dollars. It's a SE Draft Lite with flat bars, 28s, fixed gear. I'm going to put flat pedals and a freewheel on it. She hates drop bars and the idea of shifting is usually too complex for her to be of interest. I wasn't sure exactly what size to get, so I got a 52 cm to err a little on the small side since I think she prefers a relaxed fit. Figured for 99 bucks even if she hates it and it sits in the garage it will be no big loss.

    That is a good price for a Draft...not a bad bike for the price

    Rad, it was 99 plus I think 30 dollars shipping. I was tempted to buy myself one but I hardly ride the cross bike I bought much less one of these. I wish she and I were closer in height so I could ride her bike Now that I'm looking at the photos it looks like it may already come with a freewheel which would be awesome. Looks like a fun bike to me.

    He bought her the bike so he'd feel better about wearing her jeans
