When your done come downtown and ride with us. There is a few of us that get together and ride.
Thanks man, thats awesome, I'll let ya know if I need a hand. As for the dropouts, they're more horizontal then vertical... I plan to build the wheel and save a little money. My grandpa builds bikes and wheels, so he is sending me a rim, and i'll pick a hub, and lace (try) it up. Is an I.R.O Fixed/Free hub a decent hub for a starter into fixed gear world or would the Suzue Bsaic Track hub a better chioce? If I really like it, i'm sure ill build up another fixed gear w/ nicer hubs, but for now will this work?

Thanks for the offer again Cynikal
