if you want to appreciate a fixed gear bike then you need to build one from scratch for sure and invest in proper tools.. suggest you buy everything second hand remember treat this as your first project, buy tools as you need them don't waste money buying shite from Lidl.. i'm serious.. spending circa £500 upfront is for fools, aim for £200 then upgrade parts when you are ready and know what you are doing.. personally i'd rather spend serious money on my road bike.. good luck and welcome to the forum (michael)
