Yeah that was my plan I think, I'm not sure when id actually get the time to come down but ill definatley make some phonecalls first, thanks for the list of shops, really useful!
Id say I'm fairly articulate, and I'm quite well versed in the world of bikes too, my dad has always been a keen cyclist, I've been a keen bmx rider pretty much all through my teens up until a few years ago (I'm 22 now) and I worked in a shop a while ago, pretty much a bmx only shop though, had a few mtbs in but I wasn't allowed to touch them haha! This brings a few language barriers when talking about the world of road/track bikes though, I got laughed at hard in the brum forum when I mentioned removing the "lugs" from my frame!
Anyway, I digress...
For this kind of budget, would second hand be the best option then?
I find it really strange that no websites seem to just offer frames for sale like most bmx sites do... maybe this is to do with fixed being a smaller market than bmx?
