I'm with you Seaden. You don't have to spend a ton t make this a nice bike that you love.

The one thing I would suggest to you that others have: Take your time building this up. Be mindful as you go. ENJOY the process of selecting parts, hunting for bargains and building.

It took me a week to build my first conversion, and it's taking me months to build my Soma. I built the conversion fast, because I wanted to RIDE. I'm taking my time with the currernt project for 2 reasons: I want it to be really nice when I'm done, someting I can be proud of, and I'm also savoring the process of building.

Savor this project. Enjoy the process of building it as much as you will eventually enjoy riding it. Choose the parts that make you happy. Splurge where you feel you need to splurge, but not because some online bike geek says "you can't put road cranks on a track bike!"

Above all SLOW DOWN! 2 days ago you were saying "I think I might get a track frame" then BAM you snap up this Somec! You're very vulnerable to suggestion now. I suggest before you buy anything else you wait till you have the frame in hand. Polish it up with a diaper, and take it to bed with you for a few nights. Let yourself fall in love with it, and then move forward mindfully.

Thems my 4¢

BTW Vomitron is totally full of ****. If you didn't get that yet.
