Help with a Fairdale Parser Express build

Posted on
  • 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    I am a bit out of date with bike related things.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

                                                                                                                                                                                     **Fairdale Parser Express 2013 Frameset**

    Quality, horizontal dropouts have convenient built-in chain tensioners
    Rack/fender mounts for both the front and rear wheel.
    Two water bottle mounts
    Tyre clearance for up to 35mm tyres.
    Integrated headset (Campy spec, 45/45)
    Fork has a trustworthy one-piece machined steer tube.
    A built-in headset race is used to simplify assembly.

  • 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.
