So, building my first fixed gear and all i have is my lonely 2010 fuji track classic frame and forks i picked up from Rab on here(and some bits on the way. New to the whole fixed thing but trying to build myself a decent one and am pretty adamant about keeping the thing kind of ridiculously black.
Mainly what I am looking for is one of the all black Sugino 165mm Messenger Cranksets ideally with 44t but 46-48 would work as i believe i can just sort out the gear ratio with the rear cog(please correct me if i am wrong).
Also looking for some black sealed/cartridge bearing track wheeels. And i mean black, hubs spoke rims you get the idea. Okay with either fixed/free or fixed/fixed. Again the ideal would be no braking surface on the rear and cnc'ed for brake on the front(as i am new and stopping is a good thing) but cnc rear or a non cnc front i can get away with still using a brake on is okay. Mainly something decent but not ridiculously expensive. Tried to get a set of Halo's through work but ID distro is outta stock til the end of the year.
Got about £60-70ono for the crankset and like £80-100 for the wheels? Can prob spend a bit more if that is unrealistic but have already gone a bit bike porn crazy this week. If you have anything please let me know. Recommendations of better crank ideas for the money are welcome or links to external sources too.Cheers!
