Thank you all so much! I'm currently still debating if I should get a complete or drop the $$$ bomb on a custom bike. And I have to agree on building a custom bike. I'm currently located at Singapore. So loads of traffic stops and pavement riding to be done.

If I choose to go that route, the bike would be something I have an attachment to, because I built it and chose the parts AND would be a bike I like (based on looks)

I'm 165cm so I'm looking at either a 49cm or a 52cm frame. As for what froms I am currently looking at IF I do intend to go custom would be the Mash bolt 2.0 (already maxing out on my budget if i build around this). Sadly the frame that made me want to build a fixed gear years ago, the Bainchi super pista d2 cant no longer be found (Or is hard to find), I've given up on that. The other frame that I would like to build around is the Pelizzoli Legenda but that would be too expensive.

I'm curious on y'all thoughts on parts. If I were to build around the Mash bolt and would want to save up some $$ on the build instead of buying the "typical" Omniums and Archtypes laced to Phil or paul. What are some other quality (but not so expensive) cranks and hubs I should be looking at. I'd want to bike to weigh in at around 6-7kg build w/o brakes.
