what makes this thread different from the sticky -- your ss/fixie pics?

really just post your pics/stories there.

the whole thing about track bikes being expensive, about the 'bling', etc is a bunch of crap. you can get good/great parts by trading, swapping out parts, being diligent on ebay, etc. money only really becomes an issue when you 'need' the bike right away.

if you want to go anal/stingy/frugal/cheap whatever and see how little money you can spend, then get a crummy old road bike and get all your parts from the parts bin. but granted there are good parts in those bins if you dig.

bah.
