Hello,
My name is Brian and I live in Denver, CO. I bought a fixed gear from a local supplier (bigshotbikes.com) that allows you to customize a fixie and they send you all of the parts. Time has passed and I've been interested in building my own bike.
I've been on ebay bidding on things and I finally got a few parts to start my project but I've quickly realized this is not as easy as my friends told me it was..
Frame: Leader 725TR (

- color: seafoam green
- size: 55cm
- material: aluminum?
- year: I have no idea.. but I think all 725TR's are the same in regards to specs...
Fork: Leader I806A V2 (
http://www.ebay.com/itm/LEADER-I806A...00733504298%26)
- color: seafoam green
- material: aluminum
Wheelset: Stars-Circle (

- size: 700c (front and rear)
- width: 14.6
- depth: 43mm
- tires: 700cx23c to 32c
- teeth: 16
Questions:
- Is it ok to have 700c wheels for front and rear? I am seeing some people mix 700c and 650c
- I am looking at this eigthinch crank (
http://www.ebay.com/itm/EIGHTHINCH-F...item2ebc89699b). Will this fit my frame and work with my rear wheel?
- are these the other things I need to buy:
- chain
- handle bars (and stem)
- seat post (and seat)
- pedals
Sorry for my noob questions, but reading random google articles and other peoples threads is starting to give me a headache..
TIA and Cheers!
