What should I buy? Frame wheels cranks bars tyres mudguards grips pedals spokes bike

You will probably get better suggestions if you give a sense of your budget. Everyone will have a different definition of what mega/crazy money is.

i'm thinking <£1k for the fame. ideally in the 500-800 range.

You cannot become a celebrity by spending £500-800.

You can get interwebz fame if your current projects thread is longer than one of Dammits.

genesis equilibrium? disclaimer i happen to have one for sale.

£500-800 easily puts you in the budget for a custom built steel. Maybe not stainless but 631 or similar.

Are you looking for a steel Audax bike, essentially?

As I read it, he's looking to build a fixed-gear bike for long rides.

Hilary Stone has a a good looking Claud Butler track/road frame with mudguard eyes drilled for front and rear brakes. If it's your size, then I don't think yopu could go far wrong here.

Budget ideally around £600 but happy to pay more for the right stuff.
Never owned aluminium (but ridden stiff bikes) before so naturally this is my fancy.
The whole build will be leaning towards HHSB
Leader Kagero new avaliable sub £630 and was on top of my list but not really sure how I feel spending that sort of cash for a leader.
Cinelli mash are a no no. I think London have seen enough of them.
Tonic fabrication supernaut in raw at kinoko is lush but is it worth that 1000 papers?

I don't care is its track specific frame or not. I don't think it will ever see it anyway.

Any serious advice welcome.

Hard to believe that suddenly no one on the lfgss has an opinion.

Buy one that fits you, this will be worth more to you than what someone else thinks is sick/rad/hip/not hipster/tark/most wow.

I recommend this one :) Not alu though..

Also damn good call w the BRP bag, got mine last week and it's the best out there. Period..

I'd buy a Condor Lavoro... Awesome frames, non hipstered....

^^Didn't fit the intended user.

I think Kagero from here would squeeze in your price range.

They have few gold and green ones too

Collosi lo-pro
This is what I could come up with fast, but really you should say more what you want, because other then that it really is every frame.
Short/tall headtube, r u trex, what more u likey?

Kagero with forum discount at urban cycler comes to 629squid.
Collosi is bit too chunky as for my liking.

Made me think custom. Any British all frame builders out there or Orlowski is the answer?

So you are buying purely based on aesthetics?

Stretch budget to a Pellizoli?

James, not purely but since I'm spending so much of my hard earned cash aesthetics will play a big part

TM sounds good. You know his rough pricing?

Steve Goff is a well priced British builder. Although unless there's a real need to go custom it's probably not worth it.

James is actually on the money here. You'll get much more enjoyment and longevity out of a frame that fits.

Other than saying you want something RAD and SLAVE you haven't really given any other indication of what you want. Which is probably why very few have bothered to post.

There are lots of good potential suggestions but to be honest based on what you've said your best bet is to go through the HHSB thread and make a short list of which you think look the best. Then sort them by price and pick the one that costs £650.

I would second a Pellizoli, those are some beautiful well made frames, my friend has a leggenda and it's real nice, planning to get a leggenda for3 one day..

Guerciotti Crux Track I find is a nice carbon track frame that can look HHSB with the right parts, pretty cheap when on sale, I think they are on sale on planetx.co.uk, but never bought from there before so...

Just sent an email to Pelizzoli asking for pricing.
I love their fork Crown on steel fork but would probably go for 1 1/8
Thanks for that recommendation, completely forgot about Pelizzoli.

James and Hugo - I get your point. Frame chosen will be definitely as perfect fit as possible.

steve goff. or a brooklyn. for your dollar. for a sled.
tah.
though a brooklyn may not fit.
a custom will. but then you'll have to wait.

Got run over last week and so I'm in the market for a new frame. I had a Leader 722ts which was ok, ugly welds etc but pretty solid. Was looking at the Brother swift, any opinons? Thanks!

All City Thunderdome plus money for part?
