This is a difficult time for a lot of different reasons, but if you happen to be looking for a new bike, between tariffs and the pandemic, bicycle inventory is low and demand is at an all-time high. After having two bikes stolen from me back in July, I've been on the lookout for some replacements that will do the job at a reasonable price. Just when I was ready to give up, and wait it out, a Pre-Black Friday email hits my inbox from Retrospec, announcing a price drop on one of their entry-level fixie city bike the Harper with coaster brake. With the bike theft still fresh in my mind, the thought of spending $400 on a bike that might get stolen again, coupled with the incredibly unbelievable low price of $176, I decided to give it a shot and see what kind of bike you get at that price. In this video, I unbox my matte gray and orange single speed, assemble it and take it for a short ride and give you my first impressions. In future videos, I plan to perform some gravel bike upgrades.
