  • the kind of person that is willing to spend that kind of money on a fixed gear is pretty rare. I’m sure they exist, but it might take a while to find one.

    And even rarer someone who will be willing to spend that kind of money on this exact combination of parts built to the OP's taste.

    Good luck but again, you'll probably only get close to that if you sell all the parts individually, which isn't that difficult

  • i’m not disagreeing with you just two notes:

    1. according to my experience the majority of the people don’t have a taste at all. i saw many many people especially with the ones well funded who can’t decide between frames, components, colors, styles, whatever. facebook groups, messaging boards, forums, etc: half the content is about questions what should they buy. people have access to more products than ever and they don’t have a clue.

    2. i’m not against parting out because it’s difficult. well, it’s difficult for me because i’m very limited in movement but you meant a different thing. i just don’t like the idea to spend a lot of time with disassembling, messaging with tons of people, packaging and shipping to have some money and still a half bike on the wall at the end. it goes as a complete or stays, i’m not interested in between those two. “goes as a complete” can be two or three bigger chunks (those people will message me anyway) but you’re very familiar with this place, if you start splitting you’re gonna get messages about the tiniest possible components.

  • according to my experience the majority of the people don’t have a taste at all.

    cannot agree more! We need a list of people on here with next to no taste:
    @6pt
    @Fox
    @chrisbmx116
    ...

    I would definitely take the bell please

    Love it
