Hello everyone,

I am relativley new to fixed gear riding, less than a year in the saddle, and would really like to build my first bike. I would like to do this for two reasons, my previous bike, a converted schwinn that weighed about 35 lbs, was stolen, and I feel that building my own bike would just be a lot of fun. So, what I would like is some feedback on the components I've selected, and some suggestions on alertnative components. I would like to spend less than $600 for the total build

Frame

I would like to go cheaper on the crankset and BB but honestly don't know whats good and what isnt good. This is the Crankset and BB I currently have picked out.

Pedals


This is what I have picked out so far. I haven't decided on a seat, bars, straps, or a back wheel (I have a front). As far as bars go I'm having a hard time. The ones on my stolen bike were modified drop bars I cut off into bullhorn bars. The width was perfect, about 34cm, but the only bullhorn bars I can find at that width are made by nitto and they arent really bullhorn bars. I can always just do what I did last time, but if theres another option I would like to hear it.


Any suggestions or feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
