question about fixed gear
 

so i want to start building my street fixed gear bike but im not to sure what to get. whats the best fixed gear bike right now? price isn't an issue...:thumb:. i was looking at the Pake... or a Bianchi but too many people who i ride with have Bianchis. Please help by posting the best bike frame and parts.

Bike will be used mostly for street riding and some tricks
i also want to start building my track bike so if you guys could help me out with that too! :D

It sounds like many steel SS/FG bikes out there may fit your needs for street/trick use. Personally I feel that a Mercier Kilo TT may be a slightly better buy than a Pake, for the money. They are both pretty entry level, and you can slowly upgrade components as needed (or wanted). Also, people love the sturdy qualities of the Surly Steamroller, and its slightly more relaxed geometry. I do think chrome Bianchi Pistas are some of the most attractive track bikes out there, but yes, they do carry a stigma in some crowds these days (as seen in BikeSnobNYC.blogspot.com, for example). In terms of a track-only bike, people seem to love aluminum frames such as the Bianchi Pista Concept or the Fuji Track Pro, to name two.

1 steel and 1 aluminum. Price is no issue so get 1 of both and your friends will LIKE you.

there was a Cinelli Vigorelli (aka "Kanye Special") parked outside of my office last week and it was super nice looking. Good stuff.

You mean kanye west?

For a complete bike, I think the Surly Steamroller Complete offers the best bike for the money.

I started out with a Bianchi Pista, and now only the frame set remains.

I like the handling of the Pista, but some people don't.

I've never heard anyone say they don't like the way the Steamroller handles, and, the Steamroller will take fat tires and fenders when and if needed.

quiet, you!

If you want to look cool and rich(sounds like the case), I'd recommend a Gios track frame, not too many of those around.

Money is no object and you want the "best"? Well then it sounds like you are in the market for a custom bicycle or two. For your street bike might I recommend Ahearne, Sweetpea, or Signal (Vanilla takes too long)...and for your track bike I'm thinking Parlee

I bought one a couple weeks ago and have to agree. It handles great, rolls great, and is a heck of a bargain.
