I can borrow a cockpit from a friend. I’ve got some cranks, chain, 135 spaced fixed wheel and a front wheel. Is there anything else I’d need to have a go at a 10miler fixed?
You'll need a 130mm OLN wheel for that frame. The dropouts look very short, so it's probably going to need a magic gear. You'll need a helmet and front and rear lights

will I be buying tat?
Well, yes, obviously, but it depends on the price. You can typically get an old P2 or P3 frame for £500 or less once you've parted out one of the complete/partial bikes on ebay, so you probably don't want to pay more than half that for a PDQ

I have a Vitus Chrono TT, which looks awfully similar (the model I have). I bought it for £300 as a frameset with brakes + bars + TT extensions, but in a very neglected condition. Cable guiding to the rear brake is not a nightmare, brakes are OK to setup. Very happy with it, and I'd need to add a good 100 watts to my FTP before this frameset becomes the limiting factor :)

I’ve been offered a PDQ PB frameset, with brakes are they any good? Or will I be buying tat? I can borrow a cockpit from a friend. I’ve got some cranks, chain, 135 spaced fixed wheel and a front wheel. Is there anything else I’d need to have a go at a 10miler fixed?
