This is my first build (making my brother go fixed), it's currently the illegitimate offspring of an old rayleIgh and my shit ebay road bike that I rode to destruction in a few months two years ago.
Had a problem with the rear wheel slipping but my dad was able to construct a chain tug from some odds and ends and a fat welding kit and now thats fixed it's finally roadworthy. I think its come out pretty good.
yet to decide on the finishing touches but we're thinking of painting it blue with yellow lugs, matching the front wheel to the back (this will hopefully be my first wheel build) and getting chromey stem and handlebars. Maybe yellow grips/seat/tyres/cable we'll cross that bridge when we can be fucked really.
Just wanted to thank all you for the times i utfs and found exactly what I need. Turns out the trustly rubber mallet and some htfu is the solution in almost every case.
