So we builded a bike for me today! im happy

Here are some pics of the place i went to, the guy is totally nice, he used to be a courier for 10 years, so all the bike shops from town gives him lotta ****, so hes got a ncie stash of frames, wheels, etc...









And finally my new baby! As i sadi before im totally new to the fixed/single speed game so i hope i know what im doing.

We statrted with this nice short frame, the CF straight fork didnt fit because it was 1 1/8 on an inch and the guy didnt had any frames to fit that, so i went with somethign more simple:













For now its just a single speed, i didnt had a right rear hub and i didnt wanna screw on a ghetto cog with no locking ring.

handle bars needs to be cut shorter and im thinkgin of getting some track pedals with toe clips.

that place reminds me of a lbs. and imo that lbs is known for selling used parts for dirt *** cheap.
but like that shop it jus looks like a pile of junk.

I didn't like the feeling of the nitto drop bars, so yesterday afternoon I went to this little bike shop and they had some silver riser bars, lightly used off a old customers bike. I asked if I could buy that one, and she was like sure, they're 25 new, you can hve this for 9.

So I took it back to our shop, put the risers on, cut em, put on champ njs grips, and I had a thick *** bmx chain on the bike, it was switched with a gold izumi njs chain.

Today I'm switching the 18t for a 16t, my legs spin like a hampster and my friend was wayy ahead of me haha.

Or check your lbs in their parts bin box. I got flats from them for cheap. They had a bunch to choose from. Thinking about getting more.

thinking of selling my custom built Dreesens track frame and fork. cost over $1300 to be built in 1997, a generic size comparison would be about a 55cm. if someone has some real intrest i can give the actual measurements. looking to get at least $600 + shipping
