I just added up the total cost of my first ss/fixie build and it comes to the grand total for everything inc. tyres & painting etc is £ 491.50.
Strangely enough, mine just came out at £560. But the weather's nice and I'm loving the weird, barely-remembered feeling of riding fixed.
Just weighed it: 19lb. Lighter than a Fuji Track, Condor Tempo, Steamroller or Langster and much lighter than a Plug.
Pix to follow. Thanks to all the many LFGSS folk who sold me parts.
I'd say patience is the secret to doing your own build. This took me since November but I am pretty skint and do have other bikes to ride. And it's a beaut!
