Beatnik Fixie Bike 54cm

Jamis Beatnik. City slayer. On a fixie, there is simply no better material better suited for the rigors of urban riding than steel. Steel Fixies

There is simply no better material better suited for the rigors of urban riding than steel. Unlike aluminum, steel naturally damps or absorbs the shocks and vibrations of city streets. Aluminum simply transmits it, like a tuning fork, which is why aluminum frames are often criticized for their “harsh” riding qualities. Besides, on a fixie, where vintage reigns, skinny steel frame tubes are just right.
