    Caution Sub-par hardware may result in injury!
  

*by B***. on Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2014*

Prior to this most of my experience has been with mountain bikes, primarily the Trek fuel series.  I bought this as a commuter, taking me back and forth from class.  At $300 It was a decent deal, but at that price, I also expected a certain amount of quality.  It came quick (i have amazon prime) and was pretty easy to assemble.  Within about a week the brakes had loosened up, so I tightened them back down, and about a month later they were loose again.  Maybe this is normal, i'm not sure, all my Treks have had disc brakes.  The bike all together feels a bit wobbly, it creaks and groans when I use my legs to break (one of the benefits of a fixed gear), one of the pedals has developed a clicking noise/feeling when I apply force to break, which after today's events now has me worried that the pedal is going to come off, but it does ride fairly smooth in a straight line, and I will say, I love the look of it.  Today however clinched it for me...I was on the way to the gym, cruising down the sidewalk as I always do, and the next thing I knew I was sliding across the pavement on my shoulder, into the street, a busy street, a major four lane road.  One car swerved to avoid hitting me as I quickly gathered my bike and dragged myself onto the sidewalk.  I had no idea what happened.  Looking at the bike I noticed the seat was gone.  WTF?  After a quick search I found the seat along with a handful of parts and a BROKEN BOLT in the grass.  The bolt that held the seat on had completely sheared off, throwing me off balance and launching me into a busy street.  How does that happen?  This bike has never been off pavement, has never been abused, and is less than a year old!  Its not like im overweight at 170lbs either.So now i've missed my gym appointment, I have a bike with no seat, almost got ran over, and am covered in road rash.  Retrospec, you might want to up the up the shear tolerances of that bolt.

    So far, so good & Info About 'Highlighter & Blue' 57cm
  

*by L***E on Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2013*

My Retrospec Beta Series ('Highlighter & Blue') arrived yesterday. The Prime overnight shipping was a success (shipped by FedEx). Box wasn't damaged; all contents look perfectly fine. I haven't assembled the bike yet (I will, and will update this review later), but I wanted to point out a few things I noticed about ordering this bike through Amazon:1. Amazon's picture of the 'Highlighter & Blue' bike shows BLACK tires. Looking online (mainly Flickr and Instagram), I noticed that other 'Highlighter' bikes have BLUE tires (to match the blue wheels). I was a bit confused, so I went ahead and ordered some 23c blue Duro's with my purchase just in case. I assumed that Amazon had a stockpile of, perhaps, OLDER versions of the 'Highlighter', and that explained the black tires. I'm happy to report that the bike arrived with BLUE tires (not black). :)2. Amazon's default description for the Beta Series bikes mentions the tires being 23c. I'm kinda chubby, so I knew I wanted to step up the tire size to at least 25-28c in the back. Fully expecting 23c tires on my 'Highlighter', I ordered a 28c blue Duro rear tire replacement (and tube). To my surprise, the 57cm 'Highlighter' shipped with 25c tires all around! I still want to swap out that back tire for a 28c, but I was glad the larger size bike came with slightly larger tires.So, yeah, if any of you are new to single-speeds / fixies, I hope this review was helpful. I guess based on the size you choose, expect there to be slight deviations in tire sizes and be sure to research your bike online (at the very least check the Retrospec website) so you know EXACTLY what you'll be getting.

    great bike, easy to assemble
  

*by X***A on Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2016*

great bike, easy to assemble. the only bad thing is that even though the bikes have size to height recommendations for me it wasn't correct. I'm 5'1 but decided to get the XXS even though it said 4'7-4'9 height. the height of the bike was ok a little on the high side so I'm glad I went smaller than what was recommended. Before buying I would recommend you measure your inseam & go with that when deciding what size & not your height. Other than that the bike was well packaged & no broken pieces. great bike to go riding and the fact that it has a flip hub is definitely a plus if you're not a strong rider.
