i do plan on taking it on occasional long rides. where do i get a custom frame? i just need something light, looks pretty, and is able to take an almost smooth road. let see what i can think of:
- steel frame
- drop handle bars
- thread less quill stem
- a saddle better than a cheap velo or origin 8
- deep v's
- a rear hub that won't break on me cause the lock ring somehow slipped...
- pedals with cages and straps (not sure about leather or nylon)
- a gear ratio that will have me flying to work that's 1.5 miles away (i currently have a 47/15 but i feel like i have more power than what i'm putting out on this set up)

thats all i can think of now looking at my current fixie.
