Still pretty new to the forums, so thought I'd introduce myself a little more, and keep a record of what will be my first fixed gear bike "by design", rather than something I've assembled from random crap I found lying around so I could get out and skid around and have fun.
Unfortunately, I am a sucker for Cinelli bikes. Can't explain why, and I know they are overpriced etc, but I wanted one. Fortunately for me, when Planet X started selling them for cheapz, I managed to get onboard and grab one before they went, so I didn't have to pay through the nose for it. I also bloody love the colourway on it.
At present, I have only got the frameset - I'm going to have some wheels built to my own spec for this one, and the other fixed gear is an old steely, so practically none of the parts fit. That means playing the waiting game while I source and save for the parts, but I reckon it will be worth it once I finally ride it for the first time
