    Hey I'm looking to buy a fixie for a trainer. Anyone know if there's any shops in Cork where I might pick one up?

    Yeah I might settle for second hand but for the time being I wanted to see if there was anything new around

    Gears and components are the first thing to go on a bike, so there is an advantage on buying fixies / SS second-hand. They are simpler, so you just need to check the frame, wheels, brakes. You're not really anything extra by going new.

    If you're still interested in new, Victoria Cycles might be able to get you a Genesis Flyer / Day One.
