Okay. Loads of companies have been jumping on the bikesaresofuckingcool bandwagon, and although car companies have (very recently) used bikes as an advertising tool, I'm fairly sure these CooperBikes are the first fixed gear to come directly off the production lines of a car company.
Straight up, you can tell these aren't a Unipack, any colour you fancy, your bb will last a week, bike. They're reynolds steel and some money has been spent on parts - Brooks (yes, real brooks) saddles and bartape and some pretty nice looking Sturmey Archer chainset that I've not seen before. I did notice however that the top one has been beaten with the ugly, cable guide stick. Not a problem for singlespeeders, but why not use a removable brace as featured on the lower budget one? Prices start at £595 for the blue and up to £849 for the black one (big picture here). Custom range coming 2010. I'll keep an eye out for full review and keep y'all posted.
