Building a fixed gear and I need some help with fitting questions/parts.

I so far have a Leader 721, S300 Courier, EAI Deluxe track cog - 1/8" - 17t, Dura Ace lockring

I don't know what will fit what on the frame so..

Can you guys recommend me some cheap long lasting pedals, wheelsets, BB, fork (preferably under 120), tires, chains, headset, and seat post?

As long as they get the job done, last me a long time, and are cheap (no carbon fiber forks that will cost me 200 dollars) then that's all I need.

I'm trying to get this bike under 700 dollars. Thanks guys.

Nashbar has carbon forks for like $115

if you're trying to get it in under $700, is that to say $700 on top of what you already have in it? If not, what do you have in the frame, cranks and cog?

I'd say if you really have no idea about any of the other parts, you're wasting your time and money and you should think long and hard about selling the frame, cranks and cog [lol] and learning like the rest of us did- by buying a complete bike and either fixing it as it breaks or taking it apart in the wintertime out of boredom and building it back up.

Long story short, get a kilo TT.

And budget for brakes.

Dan, I've thought about buying a Kilo beforehand. I want to build a completely new bike. I don't have experience so this is my opportunity to learn. I just need some help from you guys telling what I should buy for the bike. What will and won't fit on the bike.

Hey Nagrom! Thanks for all your help!
Alright I was just wondering.. do all these components fit with the frame & together?


Also what type of crankset would you recommend rather than the Sram S300 Courier?

Nagrom_

I'd recommend Sugino RD-2's

I'm 100% positive that everything will fit, except the fork/headset. You should Ask Scrod. He's a Leader dealer.

Alright cool thank you again.
Do you know any good bullhorn handlebars?

IthaDan 

The ones shaped like bullhorns have always worked for me [unless it's some proprietary aero shaped tubing, the brand makes VERY little difference]. Just make sure the clamp diameter matches the stem.

Get some road drops. Flop and chop.
