Patience is the big big problem.
Also, I find that if you've had fixed wheel bikes for a while, you tend to amass parts (right now I have 2 sets of cranks, a BB still in its box, 2 sets of handlebars, 3 stems, 5 brakes (most of them shit), 3 brake levers, a whole heap of cogs, and er... 1 spoke. As well as 2 built up bikes. When I built up the geoffrey butler as my 'cheap' fixed, I had everything except the frame already.
edit: Oh yeah, and a whole other frame/stem/headset, a 27inch 5-speed rear wheel, 2 tubular 650 front wheels, and another crankset (a campag mirage road double).
Oh and a shimano 600 derailleur, half of a set of campag strada road cranks.... oh dear :)
