Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

What's up with your taste in parts? Not liking the GTB build in the BP2.0 thread or the woundup here. You would rather have a Nashbar fork?!

Seriously. I'd rather have a run-of-the-mill unicrown steel fork than cheap Nashbar carbon.
