LBS is great and started me off at 42-18, but I can come in and change it out for free as long as I live here. LBS wasn't thrilled with the freewheel and put in the ACS CLAWS. So far the bike is light and fast and I love it. Picked one of these up from my LBS and mine is the first one in town.

I'm 5'11" and I normally ride a 52cm road bike, or size "M" and have roughly a 30-31 inch inseam. These bikes seem to have a higher standover height than most bikes I've ridden. Should I go with a 50cm instead of the 52cm? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Also, do you have the 50 and 52cm bikes in stock for shipment? Thanks!

I needed a new bike fast and while I've had my eye on a Surly for a while, I simply couldn't swing it. I went to my local bike shop and they recommended this Torker U-District. I wasn't sold at first, they didn't have my size built so a rode one that was too small just to see how it felt. Out of desparation for a bike I went with it. They built it up for me and put a 16 cog on the back. I too had them switch out the handlebars for some bullhorns. As I watched them build the bike, I fell in love with it. It is my first fixed gear bike and I have to say I love it! I have gotten alot of comments on it and when I tell people what I paid for it they can't believe it. Bottom line: awesome bike!

Its not a $3000 race frame or anything but it is soooo worth $350! its actually worth more in my mind but we wont argue with the MSRP. This bike is a smooth ride, when I first built it up I rode from the shop 10 miles north to meet a friend than for a jaunt around downtown Seattle and was only impressed with the smooth ride, fast handling & how much brakes help out (most my fixies have been brake-less) The fenders are Made by Axiom (you can find them in our shop or online @ ghybikes.com) As for the stock components they are not bad at all, I like the "bashguard/pantleg guard" on the chainring the only things I changed were: bars- the stock bars are flatbars chain- the stock chain was brown... yuck! pedals- plastics were replaced with MKS Cog- no track cog included, I run a 16T So that's it I highly recommend getting this bike! Its a great value! well built! great ride! for cheap! I love this bike!
