Hey everyone, so I'm totally new here so please excuse my ignorance to anything.
I've been biking for the past 7 years off and on but just last spring/summer I really got into it and got myself a Trek 1.5 (which I love). I've put about 1500kms on it and plan to do tons more next spring/summer.

Although, I've been thinking about biking lately, I know I don't want to take my 1.5 out in this nasty off-season weather. I'd much rather have a fixie for the daily around town bike and for a different style of biking.

I've been looking at the Trek T1, but just recently have been considering maybe building my own fixie so I could really get exactly what I want. What is your opinion, is the Trek T1 hard to beat for the price even if I build my own?
