First Single Speed Build

First bike build thought I'd give it a share. Mainly built on a budget and used for getting around uni. Went for a clean look with black mid ranged BLB components.

The frame was bought off here and has been left to patina a little (just waiting for it to go a little more then the frame is being clear coated to retain the look).

Rides really well! Never ridden a single speed or fixed gear so still getting used to the ride and feel. Looking forward to being part of the community on here :)

Welcome dude, looks decent, especially for a first build. Would recommend raising the saddle angle up a bit though, unless you find it comfy there
:)

Thanks, will give that a go and see how it feels.

Sure thing man, lemme know how it goes :)

If it's single speed, you'll want to be fitting a rear brake. With a fixed gear, the drivetrain acts as the rear brake, hence why some people do away with the calliper brake. In an emergency, you'll struggle to stop in time with just one brake.

Sorry to be a part pooper, but it's the truth. Nice bike otherwise.

I have noticed it is difficult to stop, especially down hill. Thanks for all the advice!
