Ok, so money is finally right and I'm excited to build up my track bike from scratch. I have been admiring a lot of the bikes on here for ideas on how to go about this. My first question would be where do you guys usually source your parts from? Although I have a reliable fixed gear now almost everything on it would be considered an embarrassment to put on an older track frame. But my budget wouldn't allow me to drop 300~ on a crankset alone…
So I guess I'm wondering where I can I start sourcing in some track reliable parts for my build with my budget in mind?
Most of my searches yield results such as Brick Lance Bikes but they seem cheaper than I want and candy coated…
Meet lot more bike geeks buying off the forum.. Vintage part stashed away like squirrrls.

Formatting Help
Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.
Tips:
Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----
To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word
To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word
Embed images by entering: ![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png) That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.
* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks
1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:
```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
