Don't you watch American Choppers? Fixie fabrication is like that in miniture. I'll be down stairs working my magic with the dremel when Schiek will call and say something like "stop being so lazy" or something like that and then let me know he's going to eat a vegan burrito and watch the 1954 giro in real time on the original 8mm.

Meanwhile at my house, I contently grind away. yesterday morning, I made a chain whip out of an old snow shovel handle and some old chain.

Go get the dremel and some cutting wheels (not to mention eye protection). In no time, you'll be buying old huffys for $5 just so you can cut them up. Big fun.
