Welcome to the BikeForums!! And can I show a little bike envy here of wishing I could build a bike (my next roadbike is going to be a personal build at a shop where I, for a small fee - as I don't have all the tools or the knowledge, will be incorporating these guys time ordering the parts I want and building my own using their tools and if I have questions - they are there. I cannot wait. Of course this will not happen till next year -

So you have fun building that bike and do some riding this year. Do check out our many forums here - I think you'll find lots available especially in the fixie area!
