Hi all
Been planning a new (to me) fixed gear build for a while now.
Sold my last fixed gear to build up my road/ audax bike Van Nicholas Yukon, lovely bike but not the most happy leaving it locked up in the street!
Now I'm in the position to build a fixed gear up again with the purpose of being a town/ can lock it up anywhere build, which means keeping the costs down, hopefully with your help under £200.
The road frame is on the way a 531 frame built for 27 inch wheels, cost me £81 along with brand new headset and stem.
Wheels Open pro on Miche - £85 along with Miche bottom bracket
Bars system ex and Shimano exage brakes £12
Takes the total so far to £178
With the parts I already have that means I've got to buy brakes (long drop), cables, chain and seatpost. If anyone has anything please give me a shout.
