alright, lot's of joking going on here. One thing just to inform the ignorant. The H+Son rims are actually lighter than Velocity Deep V's. Not much, but anyone building a nice fixed gear knows you gotta run deep rims for steez.
And I don't care that much about weight, but at the same time I will spend the extra $20 for a nicer fork that is a half pound lighter type of thing.
And the ratio is simply what I ride now, and I will have something similar on the new bike cause I ride distance and like to do so with some speed. The reason for the fixed/fixed hub is so on the other side I can run a low ratio like 38x16 for uphill and tricks.
And I wouldn't spend an extra hundred on anodizing, I would just buy the pauls or chris king then. But since I am powder coating the frame and fork already, just thought it might be an option, guess not. Can you powder coat carbon?
And to the hipster remarks, I'll answer like anyone would, I'm not hipster. Thing is, I actually ain't. I have short hair that I part to one side, don't wear a shirt cause it's too hot in chico, and wear denim shorts, cause that's what I own. And most important I don't have any v-necks or flat shoes, I have DC skate shoes cause their padded and comfy as can be.
I'm not into hip, but I know that looking at bikes and seeing the ones you like, the colors coordinate. I was into hot-rods for a long time, same holds true there. You pick a color scheme and pull it out through the whole thing and it looks really nice when all's said and done. I just want my bike to look really nice, to me, when it's done.
As far as the rest of the bike, I have a Leader LD-735TR frame, the pista concepts look alikeish that's way less money (

http://cgi.ebay.com/LEADER-I806A-ALU...742.m153.l1262 Reason for the aluminum fork is that I've already broke the old steel fork that I had on my current bike from trying to learn tricks and stuff, I put a lot of pressure on it, and would hate to brake a nice expensive carbon fork. For cranks I'm actually thinking the Miche Advanced Track Cranks (
