complete fixed gear gruppo for $200???

https://campuscruisers.com/fixedgeargroup.html

Anyone know of something similar for a vintage frame, threaded fork?
I know its cheap but im sorta on a budget. And I dont trick on my bikes. And if I wasn't a broke student with over 60k in loans I'd buy this one https://www.velomine.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=857

Any other options out there that don't break the bank

Im too lazy to search through the other hundred fixed gear gruppo pages

Thanks for your help

IRO have a build kit for $200 sans wheels.

BikeIsland used to have a Kilo build kit for $300 or something close.

I saw an ad for that of facebook a few days ago but didn't feel it was worth posting. Looking at it again, it really doesn't seem that bad. Their frames look pretty bunk though.

Did you see the recall on the 6061 aluminum forks?
Can you say Viscount?

I just saw that recall notice!

At least the Viscount Death Fork was nice looking.

Are those parts any better than the ones that come on the stock Kilo?

Since it comes with a Miche bottom bracket, does that mean the crankset is ISO?

Cranksets are only available in 160mm...but then, I wouldn't trust BD/BI's spec list.

I'd just get the IRO kit and buy the wheel at VeloMine.

For double the price....?
I still think the Kilo build kit is the best deal. It includes important parts like pedals and brakes!

Yeah man, a good wheelset isn't very important.
