This one ? I'ts kinda neat, nothing crazy. I picked it up to ride after work when I don't have time to get to a trail before dark.

Without a back brake, missing the right bar tape and with a back rack lol
Just a little back story, I recently started riding fixed gear and picked up a used Takara Kabuto for $60 just to see if I could get used to riding fixed gear. After a few 20+ mile rides I am enamored with the fixed gear and there is no going back.
I am looking now for my second fixie, something that I can slowly continue to improve as the money becomes available, I found the bike I linked here on Craigslist for $275. It is the Jamis Beatnik, and the seller is guessing that it is the 2011 model. I am trying to bring the price down to at least $250. I want to know if that is a good price, and if it is a good bike to throw my money at?
Right now I have a fixie and I love it. I wanted a cheap bike to ride around campus on and I have loved riding it. I am over 120 miles so far and haven't had any problems at all. My fixie was cheap about 160 bucks off of amazon and its worth every penny! I'd so go for it! btw here is the link to what I got: http://www.amazon.com/Takara-Kabuto-Single-Speed-Frame/dp/B004GWP6CK/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1381412264&sr=8-3&keywords=fixie
If you don't mind single speeds, look at the Takara Kabuto, seems to get great reviews and I was looking at this myself. The sizing might be an issue, but they may have larger ones if you look around
