Bikes: Kent GMC Denali 19"

Well, I am not Intheshop, but the thing is, the frame I have is stripped, so it has no head set, so it's just a frame. The paint is good, so are the decals on it. But I am contemplating getting an Aluminum frame instead of using the steel frame. (since I kinda like the stiff ride of Aluminum since I got my Denali)

The reason I was attracted to the frame was because of the horizontal dropouts, slightly undersized, yet able to fit a pair of 700s in it.

I have a nice pursuit bar and one inch carbon aero fork. I just need to get a 1 inch thread less headset parts.

^that is the thread discussing my fixie build.

And no, the Denali is my Practical Daily, not my project bike, so I am not going to strip it out. I still need the Denali to get around the Greater Seattle Area, and to get to school. And the area around my neighborhood is pretty steep, so I need some gears to climb and go top speed on flats.

Btw, not building a single speed, going to build a complete hardcore fixie with no brakes at all.
