i guess you could say i am trying to keep this project fairly cheap but at the same time i would like for it to look anywhere from decent to nice. im not really trying to make it completely scream, "please steal me" when i lock it up at my local bike rack but i would like for it to have some solid and straight looking wheels, hence id say classy yet subtle in a cheaper priced wheel is what i am going for. also, i am new to this so any setup that is easier to install and work with than another would also be good. as far gear ratios go, i live in a fairly flat terrain, or at least ill be riding around in one. there are a few minor hills here and there and with time i hope to be able to tackle SOME of them, so i would need a solid flat land commute ratio along with a tad bit of versatility. also, itd be cool to try and learn some tricks too!? muhhahaha, kidding. does that somewhat help? one other thing, is there any special tools i may need? i have some tools such as a chainwhip from my last project but ive never done a fixed gear.
