So, I've got myself the frame and forks (see attached) and nowt else. Want to do it up nicely but shamefully don't know where to start. Should probably post this in Current Projects but trust you Brighton types more...
Things that may help:
• Looking to keep it low-key and classy (brown leather seat/grips, quill stem, flat handlebars, sticker-free rims etc)
• Will be riding fixed with front brake
• Expect to use it mostly for commuting but will also hopefully get out for a few longer rides. Have a good hill on my ride home (Bear Road) but was riding 48/16 previously and getting on okay(!) with the hill
• Budgeting ~£200 (will probably repaint it later on top)
• 120mm wide dropouts
• Bottom bracket BST-threaded
Happy to spend countless hours trawling LFGSS for parts but not entirely sure what I'm looking for and don't wanna get ripped off.
