7 reasons not to buy

- Grips on the Solo only covered bar-ends.

Bottom line
The “vintage track bike feel” of the Vinyl appealed to buyers. It was described as the “perfect daily commuter”, by an owner. Other Vinyl riders found that most components were of unremarkable quality, leading them to consider the Vinyl as a reliable basis for an upgrade project. In summary, the Vinyl is a low-cost bike with a spec sheet that would be more than adequate for beginner and casual riders. Riders may start to cycle more frequently or find that parts come to require replacement. As this takes place, the frame and crank provided here should serve as a reliable basis for a high-performing and durable single-speed.
