No but they do look rather cool. The frame material is probably a bit better and lighter than other steel fixie frames. If I didn't have an on-one il pompino, i'd consider this or a Surly steamroller.

Will at Hubjub.co.uk, who supplies bareknuckles and lots of other great fixie stuff, is a spiffing chap to deal with. Will give you lots of bull**** free advice. Email him.

I have a 21" with an extended saddle pole (I don't think that's the technical term!). It's a little small for the frame, I'd say 23" would be a better bet if you can get it. I'm 6'5"
