Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Help Please

Hey Everyone. I'm new to this forum and hope I can get some bike advice. I am making an attempt to start riding fixed gear and I would like to build my own from parts. I recently bought a cayne uno frame off of ebay. Does anyone have any recommendations as to parts for this that are somewhat inexpensive for a newbie like me? Thanks so much, anything helps.

-John

What's your budget? I'll do a generic build list:

-Wheelset: $130.00 formula/generic rim dealy
-Cog/Lockring: IRO $20.00
-Crankset: Sugino RD, Pake, IRO, etc... ~$80.00
-Headset: Something generic and cheap $20.00
-Bars, post, seat: LBS specials $?
-Pedals/Clips/Straps: MKS/MKS/MKS $40.00
-Chain: KMZ $8.00

~$300.00 build. Oh, and tires/tubes.

you could have better components than the above listed if you bought a cayne uno complete for $450 at my LocalBikeShop and had it freight shipped to you.

but now that you have the frame i suggest getting the components you want. velocity deep v wheels would be very cool and you could probably afford them if you get used/bargainbin stuff for all the other components... of all the components you'll feel quality in the wheels and saddle before anything else.
