lives in golders green... work at hammersmith hospital and charing cross hospital... do about 15 -20 miles a day...
as to what kind of rider... (commuter??) ... want to try a fixed gear...
I have a specialised Allez...but want to keep that one as it is... as I have spend a bit on upgrading it in the pass 2 years.. and as i am going to be new at fixed gear bikes... want the allez to be a longer distance riding bike (which i sometimes do...)
as to budget... i really have no idea.... can pick up a langster for 200 pounds so...under 200 pounds? (or as cheap as possible??:P)

A few weeks ago... i got over taken by a fixed gear road bike...and today it happened again. So now I am interested in trying a fixed gear road bike.
First I though I go to the shop and get a lanster (or something similar). But the shop keeper told me to build my own, he said it would be cheaper and i will learn more about the bike.. and recommended this website.
So where do I start? Buy a cheap road bike off ebay and strip it down? Buy frame of ebay and build up from bottom?
please help
thanks
I am not the fastest cyclist around.... average about 19 miles/hr... but this girl yesterday just speed pass me....
so you don't think I should build one?? I though it would be a fun diy project...
