Wanted: I'm building a fixie... Well trying to!

If you dont have friends or anyone else with bike knowledge then building takes time as you teach yourself - forum peeps are friendly and will help you out but you gota learn on your own buddy.

Get yourself a off-the-peg - Inevitably, you need to crawl before you walk and will tumble and fall while you learn about your new bike. Then, add parts and learn more and customise bits slowly as you see fit.

I agree. I bought a Unacoster (or Unabomber as I prefer) and have replaced everything but the frame and brakes so far. Picked up a bike off ebay and now fixing it up as my first project. Oh, just put a "Wanted" sign up, if anyone has a chain set for sale give me a holla!
