Hi ive been thinking of building a single speed,ive been running for around a year and just want to change my exercise, i use to ride a lot and i'm keen to get into single speed/fixed..
So far ive have a few items a really cheap Raleigh R100 frame (not sure if that frames any good,i know its not a track frame), a Thompson elite post 27.2 and a Bioflex seat..
But ive see a few complete bikes, which make me wonder if thats the way to go, and upgrade as i go along...One seller as a Fuji track for £270,another a Langster for £399...Just wondering what most people think of the Fuji for a first single/fixed...Would the post and seat i brought be a upgrade for the Fuji, or would i need to sell them? Or should i hold out for a better frame and build a track bike slowly...The Fuji a 54 i think,, i'm 5ft 11 but with a longer body...
thks in advance and sorry for the neebie question! aj
