As a few of you might rememeber I built my first fix over the summer (Cotic Roadrat, Goldtecs, Open Pros) and loved it. Sadly, my halls at uni won't let me keep it inside - don't want to risk it being nicked.
Managed to get this on Gumtree for £260. Not bad considering it's in pretty good condition, just needs a clean, and it retails about £600 new. 39 weeks at uni (although I'll be here all year) at £17 travelcard for students = £663. Bargain, plus riding is way more fun.
I'm really, really tempted to get a white industries eccentric fixed hub... Would be an awesome project. It's already so fun to ride, fixed would make it amazing.
Well, it certainly ain't fixed. :(
