Not London or Manchester.

I'm talking Edinburgh and especially their Bike shops and in-particular their bikes.

I'm in need of an N+1 and what with money being tight, I am looking to go for a low maintenance Singlespeed/Fixie, anyone own a Revolution Track.

Or got any opinions on it? or would like to share any other options.

Budget is cheap as poss.

    just my 2pennysworth - I had a gary fisher triton for about a year. I'm pretty sure its the same frame as the old Lemond fixie. Anyway I really enjoyed it. Nice light steel frame, takes guards and a rack. Ideal fixie commuter IMO.

    I have a Revolution Cross, and the damn thing is unkillable, not the best bikes out there, but bloody good for the price.
