This was my first fixed build from about 2 years ago.
It was built on a tight budget but I loved it and it got me hooked on fixed. So despite it not being the best build ever, it still has a place in my heart!
My second attempt was this.
I've been really slow at finishing it. I've had it over a year but never had the money to get the parts I really wanted. I was due to get some bits for it this month but I've just bought another frame and am building that up now. This probably won't get finished until after summer but I'll still use it as it is. Ideally I want some campag cranks, new bars, stem and headset for it.
Oh and I know a brake seems to be controversial on here but I don't understand how you can commute in London without one. Skidding and skip stops are fine but for me a brake just seems safer.
