Hey guys, thanks for the responses. I was originally going to buy the pake track frame and fork, and build up around it. But after reading some stuff, it looks like you need a lot of special tools, and I could probably screw up the frame by accident if I mess something up. My nearest bicycle coop is in LA at the Bicycle Kitchen...Looks like great place but it's super far from me. I live in Riverside, CA. So does anyone have any suggestions for an under $400 fixie that I can buy...I know I probably will have to upgrade...but I just need something for now to get around. Thanks!
