Just bought a Dawes galaxy frame and forks from about 1988 and intend to build it up info a fixed gear bike.
The frame / forks have a bit if rust which I'm hopeful I can remove by getting the frame stripped and powder coated.
Any thoughts as to colour? I'm thinking either Orange (possibly with black forks) or white and blue.
Also as I've never built up a bike before any opinions as to how I can do it while keeping the costs from spiraling while balancing the need to make the build as straightforward as possible would be appreciated.
Lots more questions but I need to think through and read up before I ask.
