this one's from Kona - Paddy Wagon it's a SS road/urban bike w/ flip-flop hubs
Image $649 at the Path. One of the guys at the path swapped out the drop bars for a riser and flipped his stem so it's look is similar to the sanchez very cool as I'm not too crazy about the drop bars

then i saw this swobo - Sanchez sooo nice w/ flip-flop as well but no brakes.
so i'd have to pay to get brakes added cuz i dont like the fix idea. but it's soo sexy w/ the galvanized finish
Image 599 + brakes at the Path

apparently in SF if you ride a Fixie and you get into and accident with a car, it is considered your fault and you must pay the damages...I think they justify this because Fixies dun have brakes...

Stick with the Kona, it's mucho sexy. I feel like the Swobo is for rich, yuppie hipster dudes who just found biking because it's "cool."

I was thinking about buying one of those awhile ago, but I'd have to agree with Phonger.

I'd buy the Kona, and put WTB Dirt Drops or Mustache bars on if riding down in the drops is too deep for you. Road handlebars make a whole lotta sense once you start riding, trust me.

Those Swobo bike are swank. They ride super smooth and look WAY cooler in person. I came pretty close to buying a Del Norte. Ended up with a Felt Dispath instead.
