My Fixed Gear Bike Build

[NateCourtright]

I bought this frame at a LBS for 25 bucks under the orders of "don't bring it back". I gave it a quick rattle can paint job and waited for the funds to buy the parts. It has a Vuelta XRP wheelset with flip flop hub, 165 mm Sugino cranks and a Tru-Vativ American to Euro bottom bracket converter because those single piece cranks are annoying. I love riding the bike because it feels so natural so basic. Plus i get myself quite a workout with no coasting. As far as the build went it was easy and fun. I'm new to bikes so i had some help with the chain but it was easy once i made sure not to pop the pin out. The only thing that was tough was the bottom bracket converter didn't go in as smoothly as i wanted and i had to have the LBS help out (Cycle Spectrum in Plano Texas is great) but other than that the build was about an hour with minor tweeking here and there. Been riding it like crazy ever since.
