I'm making a start of my first full fixed build after buying my old one on GumTree, realising how much I'd fucked up buying it, giving it a make over and then selling it on without loss.
Just a little info, I'm 18, living in Bournemouth for Uni, originally from South Wales. I'm about 6"1.

Don't hate me ahaha
I'm a massive novice even after re hauling that bike, so if I've made any fatal mistakes don't hesitate to tell me.
Ended up picking my frame up from the guys at Pedal Pedlar rather than evilBaying one, as I feel in love with it and it ended up being a lot easier.

It's arrived even with some confusion, well packed and looks even more beautiful than it does on the photos.
I bought the Headset and BB along with them and the BB came fitted.
I've also order a wheel set off Varno with Miche Hubs, MACH1 Silver front and back, silvery everything else. It got sent to the wrong place as I was informed by the courier, I've tried to contact the guys over at v-sprint numerous times to no help so I have no idea what's happing. Made worse by the fact I'm home from Uni for the month so I need them to be sent to a friends house. I'll update when I know more.
UPDATE, heard back and the wheels are on their way.
I also snatched these up from eBay so I hope I've done good with both of them.
