Wanted: I'm building a fixie... Well trying to!

Looking to build up a fixie..I've been having a go on friends and its good fun.Hopefully save many pennies on travel too

Anyways I'm looking for a complete build
Frame has to be 53 or 54cm Would prefer black but I'm open to anything
This is what I hope to have as a complete with front brake to start off with

I'm a newbie so any advice,tips etc would be helpful

Personally I would prefer a real bike...

Awesome Mock Up,
from looks of it you'd be best getting BLB's own frame or 14 Bike CO,
bmx stem plenty available in purple on alansbmx.com
set of velocity deep v's - ure choice of hubs tyres
with the araya sticker and kashimax shaped seat im guessin u like old school bmx,
could get ure self a kashimax aero saddle in white -plastic mind but awesome
grips are oury's in the picture
any of the bike shops listed on here will help you fill in the gaps with bars cranks etc
alternatley build it up by watching the classifieds here and ebay, can always get a frame coated by armortex

Easy peasy, fixed, or if you got cash to burn head straight to 14 they have pretty much all of the above in stock I think :p, they should be paying me really, but the little discounts here and there are good enough ;)

Thanks for all that info!
The search begins now..

Oh by the way as far as hubs go, I would recommend goldtec if you got cash to spend, nice and tough, if you want cheap as chips though go formula.

Cool..How much do you think i'l be spending in total if I was to go 14 anytime soon?

more than fiddy dorra

more than if you bought an off the peg and changed parts slowly,
depends if u enjoy the buildup and how willing to deviate from that pic u put up,
i'd got to 14 or blb explain ure budget and desires/priorites and see what they come up with
as i say alternately u could source parts slowly and build up when all are collected
depends on your urgency and budget

i'd go to 14, the staff are nicer, and the prices better :p, but yeah Davids advice is good advice. I'd say if you went and did everything through them, anywhere from 650-700 quid plus depending on how high end you wanna go with certain parts.

Yeah for parts,seats..etc and stuff i'm trying to keep it low as possible.Slightly used perhaps?

I may be wrong but think the 14 completes start at around the £700 mark.

Lovely frames tho!

I think it's more fun to buy stuff off here and the bay and build it up yourself, especially as you say you are okay with a 'slightly used' look. Peeps are quite helpful if you ask in the right places and you can learn as you go along. It helps if you have a friend who's built up before mind! The bikes in 14 are nice though if you have the cash to splash.

Thank you everyone for your answers...Helped alot
I'm going 14 tomorrow hopefully..Stil waiting to hear from another guy about my build

Thanks
