I'm about to start ordering all the parts for my first fixie, so i'd say it could be all put together by january 5th. I'm leaving for India on the 10th. I'm tempted to make it and take it -- i'm going to be spending most of my time in a flat costal/village area (with paved roads) where it would be fun and useful. but at the same time i would be nervous about finally having this nice bike put together and then have it get stolen or crapped up on the plane or whatnot.

opinions?
