Soon to be PC owner and first fixie - newbie here. What do you guys think? £320 eBay snag.
Gonna change the bars to straight bars. As well as pedals with some straps.

Alpina Headset and Seat ClampIts 60cm frame and am 6ft3 (194cm) with inseam of 33inches. Hopefully it'll be a fine fit. I can always get a shorter stem in case its too much of reach?
The Cinelli drop bars - reckon I could get £30-40; if anyone is interested...

decided to hold off on the BB for now. Want to fix the comfort first and foremost. I have 90mm stem right now but i am thinking of getting a cheap super short stem + tall riser bars to give myself a more relaxed position - i am commuting 3 miles + fun rides mainly.
i have ordered the Deda Elementi streettissimo handlebar. Will wait for that to come in to change stem length.
Question - how short is too short for the stem? I really am looking at 60mm-70mm stems. What do I lose out on? Any other way to resolve the relaxed feel?
