I've just finished my first fixed build - I've been riding on mismatched beater for 6 months or so, but this is the first bike I'm reasonably satisfied to call finished.
Pictures here
The spec is:
Mike Mullet road frame - purchased from Hilarystone (front fork not original)
On one hubs laced to Open Pro rims
Surly 14t rear sprocket with Surly lockring
Unknown vintage cranks
Shimano sealed cartridge bb
Campagnolo headset
knackered old custom stem
knackered old road bars
knackered old seatpost
Saddle - Anyone got any idea what this is? My mate found it in a skip in Bristol an I payed him a fiver for it. Don't think it's a Brooks but it's lovely, rode a 1k mile trip over summer on it and it felt great.
As you might be able to tell, I ran out of money half way through, the upshot of it is that it cost me relatively little - about £180 in total.
How much would you estimate it to be worth as a complete bike?
