Hybrid riders will think you're on a fixie and judge you a wanker.

Fixie kids will see it as a hybrid and judge you a wanker.

No one will be categorically wrong.

Well I was hoping to see a balanced argument, but it's heavily weighted towards the no-no's at the minute.

That Bianchi is very nice. Looks pricey!

I dont like the olive colour but it looks like a nice practical bike. not too flashy and comes with mudguards for Irish weather! If you like it go for it, 400 isnt bad

I've got a single speed and it's much more usable than I imagined. Wouldn't want to be in too much of a hurry though And I wouldn't drop 400 EUR on one!
