Hello,
I did my research before asking this question because I figured its been asked a lot. After reading the whole sticky about fixed gears Im still lost. Im moving off to a city and college life in 6 months, I figured I could have a project between then and build myself a appealing fixed gear. My problem; I dont know jack **** about bikes. Once I bought a bike from goodwill and fixed it up for a valentines present, I learned about tire true'ing and thats it. I don't know any bike terminology and how anything works. So my question can I learn and put togather a nice bike within six months? Do you have any links that could help me? Wheres the best starting point?

Definitely do-able. Get a good book (useful for the rest of your cycling life) such as Zinn & The Art of Road Bike Maintenance and it shouldn't be too hard to do everything you need to do.

If you have questions, google it or search on here (chances are they've been asked before). And if you can't find the answer, ask us. Sometimes we can be helpful.

Bikes are complicated, but only because they're made up of a whole lot of very simple mechanisms and sizes.

it depends on exactly what you are trying to do and how much time you and money you are willing to invest

You can do it.
We can help you.
And we'd also like to see pics along the way.
Get a used road bike on the cheap, and start taking parts off. You'll need to buy a new rear wheel, first & foremost (or take off the cassette and re-dish the existing rear wheel... but you'll probably want one that's lighter than what's most likely going to come with your frame).

read everything on Sheldonbrown.com
read the Mechanics forums on BF.

Aside from chainline and the rear hub/cog/lockring assembly, Fixed gears are the same as other bikes.

Alrighty, Im going to get cracking.
