So far i've built two bikes the Keirin Bridgestone being the latest the other an old beater.
Athough relatively new to biking and the fixed gear cycling the buzz for me is in the building and getting it together. I was gagging to get the Bridgestone done as it taken an age sourcing the bits, getting the finance scouring ebay bike jumbles but even before it was finished i was looking for another project.
I enjoy the bargin hunting, the errors which come with inexperience but yet teach for future builds, and the satisfaction when people recognise the effort you have put into it once its finished and the feel of it when you finally get it on the road.
