I would just check classifieds and build it up with secondhand parts.

^ sound advice.
if you buy cheap stuff from online high street it could be a waste of £200 because components may break after 20 miles of riding. With used components you may be somewhat sure that they worked for a good time.
I haven't owned a bike in 15 years after an accident and then a change of location, anyway i have just bought a Large Fairdale Parser Express frame and forks and i was looking for some help with sourcing parts for a build.
I am a bit out of date with bike related things.
I am looking to use it as a Fixed/single speed for the road and maybe a bit on canal paths.
Any recommendation on parts? I was hoping to not spend anymore than £200 on it. I don't need a saddle, mudguards or water bottles holders. I would be quite happy with bull bars, but would look at drops or other recommendations.
Thanks
