well, commuter mode Swift begins.

Thought I’d put some spare parts on it to see if I was anywhere close to that commuter bike built by a bike nerd vibe that I do enjoy. Think it’s not off to a bad start. I reckon if I can nail such a vibe with this bike then I’ll be less sad about battering it with locks and salt and rain. Bikes are meant to be used at the end of the day.

Things I need:

• Fixed wheelset - brake track, at least 15mm wide internally, functional, not fancy.
  
• Crankset - I think something vintage and silver would be pretty cool, but otherwise some Sugino RD2 is probably more budget appropriate. Some battered Omniums would go nicely though.
  
• A front brake - sold mine when I desecrated this hip hop fixie build. Anything would do.
  
• 17t cog
  
  

I’ve got everything else I’d need to get this rolling again. If anyone’s got any thing laying around give me a shout, don’t need it built for a weeks yet. It’ll be fun to have a fixie again.
