Yo, check out the new Fixed/SS models from Apollo… The Salt & Pepper

These looks pretty decent for the bucks, understated decals and simple colour schemes.

Should be available pretty soon.

Maybe same manufacturer as Cell. Looks pretty close to the Mallet.

G’day

Look nice and agree seem similar to the Cell, but maybe a better spec, no?

Thanks for the heads-up.

i saw the Salt in bicycle recycle yesterday. i think it’s pretty ugly to be honest

anyone know what the pricing is going to be on these?

look long and hard at the pic.

Gness · October 15, 2009, 5:33am

oops! was looking for it in the spec list

wouldn’t be much better i don’t think, wheels and cranks look a bit better, although hubs are probably the same as you get anywhere.

Would consider buying one if it wasn’t for the angles of the frame… (but then again, most modern ‘track’ frames have road angles…)

Decent, can see the salt becoming a big seller

I saw the ‘pepper’ model in one of the stall at the end of ATB this weekend. It was retailing at $999. It looked pretty nice in the flesh

They are the Hyundai Excels/Datsun 120Ys of the ‘fixie’ world!

an entry level bike… your point?

if you want a better look than on those scanned catalogue pages above they are now online, click the links and use the zoom tool

Unless the Pepper is substantially lighter than the Salt I see the Salt being WAY BETTER value due to the very similar spec list.

How does anyone compare a Excel to the venerable 120Y
