Hello everybody, I'm new to this community as I've only recently moved to London. I've ridden a lot of things that got wheels on em and I think it's about time I got my hands on my first fixed gear bike. What I'm thinking, after I did some extensive reading around the forum and the net, is that I'd like to get my hands dirty on this one and make a conversion myself. What I need is ideas about where I might find A LOT of used bikes around London so that I can pick what I think best for my project. Please do let me know if you got any ideas about where I might find such a place. I would buy any piece of junk that seems about right for my size and I see potential in it. I got about 200-300 quids to spend on the project and about a week's free time to complete it. I'll keep posting once I get started. :)
