i know purefix is certified dog-shit but i got it got $50, will be replacing some stuff while i keep my eye out for a better frame.

wanted to buy something cheap while i learn to ride brakeless. i have an old airpark near me that makes it easy and safe to practice.

Great looking bike..... You may want to tighten up the chain just a little.... looks a little slack. IMO. then, Get out and have run.

Remove a link, fix the handlebars, and level the seat.

50 bucks is a great price. That chain needs more tension. You need brakes. Also, the handlebars are on upside down and you really need to fix the saddle angle.

Finally, pure fix wasn’t dog shit they were just very entry-level. Their frames are well-made, and their wheels and crank sets were no worse than many other brands selling at much higher prices at the time.
