The Start Of My first Fixie Build
 
2 Attachment(s)
I just started to build my first Fixie. I wanted to for a while but it really hit me when me and my GF came across a 1986 Ross Eurosport for $30 with no rust on it. I talked to the guy for a min then walked away. I came back 45min latter and offed the guy $20 and he took it. I had a blast breaking it down and painting it. this is how far I have gotten so far now I will start buying parts slowly and building it. as I do more ill update the post.
