I've only been back into cycling for a little while now but I've just finished having a go at building my first single speed. Any thoughts/criticism/blatantly obvious faults would be appreciated.
From the (crap phone) picture it probably just looks like an off the peg Foffa because I bought the frame and seat from there (it's not I promise). The luganos came with the BB, chainset (46T), freewheel (17) and wheelset that I got from singlespeedcomponents.co.uk.
As someone who started with very little idea of what to do and had a lot of stupid questions to ask, Matt from singlespeedcomponents and Dani Foffa both showed a real interest in my project and were very helpful. I know Foffa bikes have an interesting reputation round here but the Prima frame seems good and Dani was a real pleasure to buy stuff from. I went round a lot of shops and was generally put off by the experience before picking up this frame.
Anyway, I took it out for it's first ride today and it was a real pleasure. It certainly feels lighter, more responsive and faster than my Charge Sink.
