Hello all,

I am working on my first fixed gear project. I was hoping someone could tell me the best place to find used parts in Chicago. I have a great frame to start with but will need pretty much everything else.

On a side note if anyone is willing to teach me the finer points of bike building I would be much obliged. I am starting a new job August 1st but have a lot of time to kill until then. I am willing to do anything I can to help (physical labor) in exchange for knowledge.

Thanks,
Caleb

Also, you'll get a lot further if you didn't call it a "fixie"...IMHO.

Edited to "fixed gear project". Just trying to learn

There's got to be some kind of co-op in Chicago.
