Need help with first fixed gear!
Hi!
After saving up for quite a while I've finally gathered about 950 euros to build my first fixed gear!
The thing is that I don't know much (just about anything would be more accurate) about parts, so I could use some help.
First of, the frame.
I really like the look of a pursuit frame (if that's what it's called?) like the aventon mataro low. Are these any decent or are there better alternatives around that price?
I've been looking around for the other parts and this is what I've come up with:
Fork: BLB AF01
Wheels: Pure Fix 60mm wheelset, black
Tubes: Bontrager 700x23C
Tires: WTB Thickslick 700x28B
Stem: BLB A-Head stem black, 80mm
Handlebars: Pure Fix riser bar
Seatpost: BLB CNC
Saddle: BLB Aero saddle Cro-Mo
Bottom Bracket: Tange 68/107
Cranks: Pure Fix Crankset black
Chain: DID Standard Silver track chain
I guess I just need brakes (madatory in Belgium and since I'm not experienced these might be usefull), pedals and straps.
I can get all these components for about 925 euros. (Bear in mind that parts around europe seem to be quite more expensive than the US.)
Are there any improvents you guys would make?
Cheers!
