My first self built fixie. With HUGE inspiration from this forum- many thanks!
501 (Puch, I think) frame, hand painted with hammerite, as it goes on and off train guards vans all week...it's gonna get scratched up :-(
The rest a mix of bits I had (rims especially) and waiting for mega-bargains on ebay.
Most expensive part- £15 'On-one' track hub. perfect 42mm chainline- silent to ride and pretty light.
£85 total to build.
I've only had it on the road a week and I must have done 120 miles already. Love it!
I'm like a proud dad!
Cheers again for all for the inspiration.
