This bike has been used as a summer/dry commuting bike and was built to endure London’s roads so everything on the bike had to be durable and long-lasting. The bike has been stored in a secure garage at both ends of the commute and has never been chained up on a London street during the day. The bike has been used so is sold in ‘used’ condition. The frame has some chips and marks from usage and storage in a garage with other bikes. Matt black also tends to show up more blemishes and scuffs. The bike has been regularly serviced to ensure it remains roadworthy.
The frame (large) and forks were purchased from Evans Cycles and the rest of the bike through a combination of single/fixed specialists – Tokyo Fixed/Brick Lane Bikes - and a selection of online retailers. Total build costs were c. £1,000 - the aim being to build a bike with quality, durable kit that would survive the London commute.
The bike is currently set up for me at 5’11’’/181cm. The seat post can be dropped by c. 60mm if required. The stem has 60mm of spacers than can be removed if a ‘slammed’ stem is more your thing.
The (hopefully) full build list is provided below for reference, but if you have any specific questions then please ask.

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:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
