Thanks a lot Adroit! Received the strips with the nicest hand-written note.

Here's a bump for you my good man.

dibs pending pics of the actual bag and working links. ;-)

Maybe it's me but both links seem to be broken.

Yes, pics please!

Sounds good but I have a number in mind that sounds better. :-)

I'll PM you next week after I run some calculations.

How much for the fork and headset?

Shame it's too big for me, real shame... Best of luck Fixt!

Still waiting on my crank nuts and pedals, then comes the really fun part of getting the chainline straight.

That sounds fun indeed. I'm scared now!

All good though, baby steps as they say. I'll get the bike on Saturday and will get those hands dirty, starting by that rear brake. Yes!

Still no sensible offers?

Thanks for the tips and suggestions Scilly. I shall do as you suggested and keep you (and anyone else interested) updated.

This is going to be so much fun!

Inspirational words my friend, and I was offered this very same morning a MTB for free (by the dude that looks after our building), which I will now gladly accept.

Thank you so much!

Thanks Boogiemaster. I've really not done a lot to it beyond buying and fitting everything to make it function, e.g. brakes, cables, cranks, wheels, and this dreaded bottom bracket issue!

The learning is the fun part, I'd definitely recommend just throwing yourself into it and having a go.

I'm so tempted but really don't know much about anything. Too new around these areas but I'm definitely interested in getting my own fixed gear soon. Money is an issue though, and I need to go and get myself properly measured too before I start buying stuff I like but that might simply not be suitable.

Oh, so much to think about and so little cash to waste in stupid mistakes. That's why I'm reading as much as I can at the moment. Getting informed by pros like you all in this forum is essential, and I'm loving it!

I don't know, but that's really not a pretty bike IMHO. I like colours but there's a limit!

Any chance we could see pics? Ideally not involving pets.

Beautiful! Too damn big for me though.

Fixt, are sure you want to leave your mobile phone displayed for all to see in an open forum? Just saying...

So far it looks pretty good! I wish I had the courage to build my own and learn all you're learning too.

Dibs on F+F still OK?
