I have nearby help (LBS, dad, friends) and my dad knows some guy at work that rides fixed to work every day and lives about 3 minutes away. He just told me about him and how he builds his own rides. Kind of a crazy guy my dad says but it sounds like he knows his stuff. I know it doesn't mean much but he rides clipless and trackstands stops while commuting so he sounds like a boss to me. Hopefully he would be willing to help.

I put together a list of parts needed and some prices (obviously not exact, doesn't include shipping, tax, etc and some are just downright guesses). It's running a little more expensive then I want it too. Do you think shooting for a 700$ price is possible with a complete build or no? What parts would be acceptable to go cheap on?
