First fixed bike build thread - Help build my first singlespeed or fixed bike

Initially on the road.

I will be commuting 40 miles daily from NW London to London Bridge. I am also thinking of cycling London to Paris on the fixed and possible LE to JOG if I am confident on the fixed (otherwise ill take the road bike).

Saying all this, i am interested in track riding, but it would most used on roads.

Having a bike thats good on the track will not be good for doing long distance road riding. I think you need two bikes.
