You get more than what you pay for. i got this bike for under $200 with S/H. For that price i would have been happy with just the frame. The parts are not top notch but still solid. Expect to change the tires or be ready to get lots of flats. i upgraded the seat, handle bars, tires, front wheel, and pedals as soon as i got it. Its perfect for when i dont feel like taking my road bike out but still want to put in the miles.

I'm only two months in, so I will likely update this review at some point. I'm no bike expert, but I do have a couple of nicer "budget-end" road bikes, a vintage Cannondale and a newer Specialized Secteur Sport.

I purchased a 2011 SE Draft Lite to replace my previous commuter bike, stolen for crack money I'm sure. I was attracted by the price point, easily one of the best prices I've seen for a fixed gear. I had never ridden a fixie, and I didn't want to sink too much money into one in case I hated it. It's been a spectacular value so far.

This was the first bike I assembled, and assembly was quite easy -- obviously, there aren't a lot of parts; that's the beauty of a single speed. The front wheel needed truing, but that's a mere $20 and 20-minute repair. Flipping the hub is easy too, even without an assembly stand.

She rides like a dream and is quite attractive too. I've taken it as far as 15 miles each way on urban excursions and have found it a comfortable ride. The gearing is appropriate and manageable even for 10% grade hills (in short bursts of course). And yeah, I really like the styling and color options available.

The bike even survived a bike-directly-into-parked-car collision at 20 MPH or so. (Don't ask, I was riding with reckless abandon). I simply had to readjust the handlebars after the accident, but everything held up fine. I was in much worse shape than the bike.

I would highly recommend this bike for anyone needing a $200 commuter and/or looking to get into a fixed gear for the first time. I also looked at converting my Cannondale to a fixie, but that was way too expensive. I checked out Walmart's $100 fixie as well, but I couldn't bring myself to buy a department store bike. This was the right choice.

Very Good Trick Bike March 26, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase
I ordered this bike and it came in three days and it was very easy to assemble. I have been riding it every day for around 6 months and it has been very good. I have jumped stairs and there is no damage on the bike. It is very light and good looking. I ride breakless and the tires have held up well with the abuse of skidding. I was hit by a car going around twenty miles per hour and the rim was bent in half. The car hit directly on the fork and no damage was done. This is the fastest bike I have rode. I replaced the front rim, put bmx pedals on,put bmx stem and bars, and am planning on getting new straps. The clips it comes with work good but arent good looking. Overall, the bike is worth way more than it is selling for and is very good. When riding it around you will receive many complements.
