Hi, just looking for a bit of first buyer advice -
am buying my first fixie and as i'm about to start uni my budget is not that big... Been looking for fixies at a decent price, also at bricklanebikes but so far they've all been a bit over budget. The ones i'm choosing between at the mo it seems are the langster and the fuji track - how do these two compare??
also, got an old carraro racer with campag avanti groupset that i might strip some parts from, but not sure if they're that much of an improvement to the current stuff on the two bikes mentioned... stuff i'd rip would probably be headset, front brake - not sure about the cranks as they might be too long to avoid overlap...
