^^Yeah but not one who is making a parts bike or "proper fixid gear" on the cheap. I keep seeing vintage frames, carbon stuff and custom frames on the current projects other than the odd Pug project which most of the time is someone's "Pub" i.e. second bike. I suspect the strong majority have spent a fuck load more than people who have bought OTPs. In fact I'd be willing to bet that bar a few, the people with OTPs are the ones who have spent the least amount of money on their bikes.
my build- Pug Frame, given me by my neighbor, back in somerset.
rear wheel-given to me by bike nerd friend
front wheel- £20 from shop I worked at
Got some rubinos for a tenner.
Had Pedals and cages from old Claud Butler school-ride bike.
Cranks, £35 from someone on here, although to be fair I still need to put that balance across. Nice guy.
Brake lever, found on the floor at shop.
Then bought new
Threadless BB, Chainring, DA Sprocket, Chain. All bashed in by Edwardes.
Overall cost, tops of £130.
And it's greeeeeeeet.
