i've been gearing up (haha) to start my first fixie project ever and have been dutifully reading the sheldon brown pages and these forums, both of which have been massively useful to a n00b like myself.
i bought a graham weigh frame from ebay for £80 and am excitedly waiting for it to arrive. it comes with a campagnolo chorus BB, the forks are zeus 2000 and the frame is reynolds 531.
firstly: does £80 sound like a decent price for what i'm getting? the frame looks in pretty decent nick, i'll post pictures when it gets here. secondly, where is the best place to start when starting a project? i want to repaint the frame and am operating on a tight budget so i was thinking of doing that till next payday, but if there is like a correct order in which one should do these things i would be grateful to know it.
