Finally out of the nursery stage. I am looking to build my first fixie after having a quick ride on one. My knowledge is limited but growing thanks to all the info on this site.
Anyways, I think first step is to secure myself a frame. Im 5 10" so would i be right in thinking i need around a 58cm or so? I would probably prefer a older/vintage style frame to get re-sprayed as my girls brother can do it for free. If anyone could recommend a specific model or where is best to get my hands on one then please let me know.
Ive got my eye on h plus son white rims as i like how deep they are. Plus a sugino messenger white crankset. Would love a brooks swallow saddle but that can come when i have the doe. Im thinking of chrome dropped handle bars with brooks grip wrapped round.
Just any info you can help me out with would be great, and if i have got any of the above wrong then its because my knowledge is limited.
Looking forward to getting this started!!
