Takara Sugiyama Flat Bar Fixie Bike (700c Wheels, 54cm Frame)
Product Description
The Takara Sugiyama is all about keeping things simple and getting it done without breaking the bank. At the heart of the Sugiyama you’ll find a strong hand crafted steel frame with horizontal dropouts that can handle the abuse of the big city. City riders told us that they didn’t need derailleurs so we listened and outfitted the Sugiyama with a flip flop hub so you can run it as a fixed gear or in standard freewheel single speed mode without having to worry about adjustments to temperamental components. The 32 hole alloy wheels roll on loud Kenda 700 x 32 tires that are capable of withstanding less than perfect roads. Front and rear alloy side pull brakes round out this spectacular spec.

Great ride for a great price!
By Robert E. Antonitis Jr.
Takara Sugiyama flat bar sinle speed bike is a great ride at a great price.It took approx. 30 minutes to set-up out of the box; very straight forward.Added toe clips and water bottle cage. I did remove kick stand as I don'tfeel I need it. Bike came with blue front and white rear tires. Although thelook is cool the quality is low end and after getting a flat after first rideI'd highly recommend spending the $20 per tire to get "beefier" rode tires. Ihadn't been shifting my old bike (20 years plus); keeping chain in middle frontand 16 tooth rear thus the single-speed was not much of a change. I will say without the gear configuaration in the rear it is a much smoother ride. I know the rearwheel can be flipped to make it a fixed speed, but I like the advantage of being ableto coast at times with the single speed side. So, easy assembly and a great price. Ifbetter tires I'd have said 5 out of 5 stars. I give it 4 out of 5 stars.

Crazy cool bike!
By HealthyJoe
Got this bike early as promised. Packaged neatly and tightly. I come from NO biking history whatsoever and was able to assemble this bike with moderate ease. This bike is definitely an eye catcher and feels great. It's super lightweight and has a comfy seat. The brakes are decent but you might want to change them if possible. As of right now, I am trying this bike out on FREEWHEEL mode. You can alternate by flipping the rear wheel to the opposite side to choose FIXED gear. Make sure to do your research on which is best for you and your environment. Anyways, this bike is fast, light, and comfortable and a bargain at only $181.50 with shipping! For reference, I am 5'4" and chose the 54cm frame and it's a joy to ride. It is a workout, even on freewheel mode. So why choose this Freewheel/Fixie bike? Comfort, portability (lightweight,) fast, good commuter, and perfect for just about anyone looking for a stylish bike. The color scheme is insanely gorgeous. The pics I will post don't do this bike justice. Comes with a kickstand and front/rear reflectors.P.S. I will give another review when I have broken this bike in and tried the fixed gear as well as add new customized gadgets to this bike. Enjoy!!*Edit* 1/5/13This bike also has reflectors on the pedals. The pedals color matches the blue tone of the front tire. Also, the handle grips are extremely comfortable for longer riding. A lot of attention was given to this bike during the creation of this bike. It's seriously beautiful and comfortable. I'm trying to give you the most detailed review so hopefully it can help everyone interested in this bike. I am posting picures to hopefully help all of you even more. Thanks Amazon for yet another incredible purchase experience!
