So I've decided on building a fixie...
This'll be to school and for a little thrashing around.
I'm wanting to build a really aggressive riding fixie around $500. Something that weighs less than my wallet and is terrifying. I'm thinking of getting this frame: http://www.leaderbikestore.com/pd-721tr-track-frame.cfm Which would leave me like $150-200 for a wheelset with a flip-flop hub. Possible? After that, I'm just gonna harvest some bikes around my dad's house. He has a couple old steel Fujis lying around that I'm sure I could take a couple things from. And what about painting the frame? I'm thinking a really strong but deep blue color with white bar tape, brake cable, chain, and sidewall tires. Or maybe a white frame with blue accent... Head in the sky? I'll put together a build diary whenever I get the frame. |
a painted leader with with 20+ year old components and an ok set of wheels (and tires aren't terribly cheap).. Why not just save some money and buy a kilo tt pro? And if the components from some old fujis are worth taking why not just clean up one of them? You're listening to the poor, on a budget college student in me.
And to tell you the truth your bike would only look cool and aggressive from no less than 50 yards away. |
Could someone quantify for me what "aggressive" means in this context?
The the OP: I hope your $500 budget isn't too firm. You'll probably end up spending 8. |

Well that explains everything.
