Solid Dutch style bicycle

Just finished building the sage third ward bike. Assembly went off without any issues. Any Christmas-Eve toy assembly warriors should not have any problems. There are no assembly instructions, but the only thing that requires figuring out is the front fender. (remove the front brake caliper and stack- lock washer, fender, second lock washer, then brake caliper) The sage colored frame that we received was true to color when compared to the web page pictures. My last bike build was from Bikes Direct, which have good frames and "meh" components. I don't have anything bad to say about the Third Ward components. The frame is steel, rims have a deep profile with stainless spokes and were built without any wobble, the front chainring is bolted to the crank, (cheap bikes are rivoted together) and the pedals are aluminum, instead of stamped steel. The only thing that you will need is a presta to schrader adapter for the tires.

Great bike but the color does NOT match what you see in the photos

I really wanted one of these bikes and Fyxation was one of the few companies that offered it in my size. I'm just barely 5'4", petite and like to flat foot when I stop. Every other bike felt massive! I love that this one is both my size and that it has 26" wheels. If you're 5 feet tall or shorter and like to flat foot, I'd recommend the kids 24" bike from Public bikes. The size small from Fyxation just barely fit me with the seat only raised about an inch. This bike feels very solid and has some heft to it that I was not expecting. It's definitely not a cheap bike and was built to last. It's nice to see a company still committed to quality while others pump out cheap junk bikes. My one criticism is the color. It's is more of a vibrant grassy green or ninja turtle green than a soft sage green. I was expecting a softer sage green so this was a bit of a disappointment, but I can live with it. I wish they would update the stock photo so it better represents the color or start making them in a softer classic sage green or even a mint color.
