Hey

New to the forum. Been riding bikes my whole life and after a 10 year hiatus, I'm back baby.

I rode a buddy's fixed gear the other day and fell in love.

I just bought a new giant hybrid for longer rides but now must have a fixed gear with drop bars I don't want to spend more than 300$

Question

Should I build an old 1972 Raleigh record frame probably using the eighth inch kit, or buy a fixed gear like from critical cycles? Any other brand recs are appreciated. Both would cost a bit over 220$ when all is said and done.

Thanks
