Hey guys,
I'm new to the forum.. I've been riding around London, commuting to/from uni etc for a little while now on a cheapo geared jobby and have been looking into getting a fixie.. Also did the Dunwich Dynamo the other week and after reading some blogs on that I saw mention of this forum and thought this would be the right place to come..
Essentially I'd just like to hear a few opinions on what to do.. Should I attempt to convert my cheapo geared frame to keeps costs down? Should I buy off the peg? or should I give into my urges and invest in a build that could take a while?
You all started somewhere with fixies, what would you do if you had to start all over again, knowing what you know now..
Cheers, I look forward to hearing from you
