PQR> IUTFSBCFATHM (I used the fucking search, but couldn't find anything that helped me) - but I got your point ;-) I was just a bit desperate for advice on brands, since Sheldon Brown is amazing, but I prefer to hear people personal opinions in here, also on brands. Some are completely overpriced compared to value etc. Sugino is amazing, but damn expensive, maybe you had a alternative for a 165 44T crank set and fitting BB?
But thanks all for feedback and help!

Hi all,
Please have patience with me, and give me your best advices for my upcoming bike ;-) I have a Reynolds 531 SL frame that I want to build up to a single speed (no fixie), but have limited knowledge about specific components, so if anyone could help with some solid advices I would be more than grateful! Maybe even if you have something for sale?!
I have saddle and am pretty sure that I want Shimano 105 brakes, but for cranks, bb, wheelsets, seatpost, stem and handlebar I am pretty blank. For the handlebar I am looking for something a vintage gentlemanbar-ish thing! All in silver! For tyres I would love to have Gatorskins!
Sorry for all the questions, but am simply not sure what to get, and what would be over/underkill!
Thanks all!
Kris

Thank you so much for your quick answer. For the brakes I would prefer to go a bit extreme, my recent bike had bad brakes and want some good, solid that stops! I'll have a look at the other levers - just wanted to make sure that these were the type to go for - my old Raleigh has levers like: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=13673 but the others are fine right?
I'll check out the crank! Will "all" cranks fit my frame, are there sizes too for that?
Thanks again

Hi there,
I'm new to this bike building and therefore bear with me if I ask some dumb questions! I've searched the forum and Google, but didn't really find answers to my question. I want to ride single speed with 2 brakes, so not fixie. I'm trying to find some components, but not sure what I need completely and what will fit.
I just bought this frame: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170537042502&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_500wt_1154
What do you think? I'll have it repainted as some point, but not right away.I need a crank set, but am not sure on what to buy? I love the Sugino RD-messenger: http://www.suginoltd.co.jp/japan/single_piste_parts_list_japan.htm - but it's too pricy and I'm not sure which size? Any recommendations?
Also brakes and levers!? I currently have a dropbar, but might go for a old school gentleman's bar, so will these fit? http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=36636 or do I need something else??
Which brakes would you recommend? I've been looking at: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=33384 or http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=28076
Again sorry for many questions and many newbie ones, but I hope you'll help a follow biker!!
Thank you so much in advance
Kristian
