  integrated campy/italian standard headset, but not included (it's a 15£ part though). I don't have a fork either. I was planning to buy an used fork (there are plenty on ebay) and build this one but changed my mind and decided that putting the money on a good pair of wheels was more important to me than another track bike.

  I would recommand to build one with help from someone more experienced. Just don't ask him to build it for you, assist him in doing so. You will learn a lot and you will be able to fix it yourself in the future.

  The only tricky parts in a fixed gear bicycle is the headset, everything else is straightforward. Well it's not that tricky but your life depends on it so I wouldn't tell a newcommer to install his first headset without assistance.

  Does anyone know if the Sram Apex is worth something ?

  I'm still running a 7-speed RSX setup on my commuter and consider switching to 10sp as the whole trans is in need of a revamp. 7-speed is cheap and wears slower than 10 speeds, but my daily commute in Switzerland is full of elevation change and my 13-27 gearing is full of gaps. I'm also considering a cheap taiwanese microshift mini-group but I don't know how good they are.

  My good old cyclo-cross bike, now retired as a commuter with slick tires and mudguards. It is a Vitus Futural. Those bikes were quite good even if we all wanted an alan frame. It won a few events and championships back in the days.

  

  I'm contemplating the idea to race again in cyclo-cross this winter, but more for the fun and fitness and less for the competition, and maybe a few ones with a fixed gear.
