Watching what some people can do on a fixed-gear bike amazes me, but it always seemed a little odd that people would choose a bike built for track racing to pop their tricks. Surely there already exists a perfect machine for throwing around half-pipes and streets, its design honed over decades: the BMX.
Giant seems to agree, and it’s Bowery FMX is a hybrid of its successful budget fixed-gear and a BMX. Even the name is a mashup. The frame is made from oversized aluminum tubing, the fork from tough cro-mo steel and the seat is distinctly BMX in style. There’s even a top-tube pad for kickin’ it BMX Bandits style, and brakes, for those people who don’t like to die in traffic.
The price for this schizophrenic ride? $750.
