Hi, all,

I decided 2013 is going to be the year where I learn a lot more about bikes, besides just riding them. So I bought a stand and some tools, took a basic maintenance class, and I'm just finishing up my first project. I figured I'd start easy, so it's a fixed-gear bike from a kit (eighthinch.com).

My question for you all is, what's a good second project? I'd like to end up building my own randonneuring bike--my current brevet bike is a low-end road bike with stuff bolted to it, because back when I bought it, I didn't know I'd get interested in distance--but I figure I'll do a couple of simpler projects first, and work up to it.

A commuter with one chainring and a rear derailleur, maybe?

Thanks!
