1. Bianchi- Pista ($729)  Classic Italian design and legendary Bianchi quality. Enough said to give the Pista the top spot on our top 10. Bianchi also makes variations of the Pista for different styles and purposes that all deserve the top spot. 2. Canondale- Capo ($939)  Versatile fixed gear perfect for commuting as it is equipped with classic road handlebars and brake levers. A little pricey, but worth the extra money if you've got it. 3. Raleigh- Rush Hour ($759)  This modern fixed gear mixed with classic English quality gives you everything you want in a fixie: Versatility, durability, and style. 4. Specialized- Langster ($699)
Another quality bike from specialized. They have incorporated their signature quality with the classic feel of a vintage track bike. Except for the brakes, this thing looks and feels like it was ridden on the velodrome in the '80s. 5. IRO- Mark V ($619)  Quality bike with personalized options as you build it to your liking on IRO's website. 6. Fuji- Feather ($649)  known for their incredibly well made (and expensive) track bikes, and now you can get Fuji quality at a reasonable consumer price.
7. Surly- Steam Roller ($710)  The steam roller is typically purchased as a frame set and then built upon, but if you can find a compete steam roller out there, it is definitely a recommended purchase by us. 8. Schwinn- Madison ($659)
with track geometry and style and road brake levers for commuting if necessary.  Our wild card pick for the top 10. Very cheap bike with mostly cheap components. However, for less than $400, this bike is not only affordable, but performs at unexpected standards. Perfect first bike and so cheap you could buy two and have a spare. 10. Fuji- Classic Track ($549)  Another consumer fixie from Fuji. The sister to the fuji feather, the classic track is a slightly cheaper version with lower quality standards, but still a great fixed gear coming in to round out our top 10. It is almost impossible to rank these great bikes overall, so we also rank them in categories. We base our decisions on factors like component quality and reputation, relative to the price tag.
