Gucci Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 So i decided i wanted to build something new, Ive finished (well as much as you ever really finish) my other hoppies toys so thought about building a fixi. I found a frame in the classifieds and loved the look of it - im not one for vintage so building a very modern look. I think ive managed to buy a set of black wheels from some one locally, other wise busy looking on ebay for all my other parts. I really want to put a BMX or a mountain bike crankset on it as I really like the look of the beefier crank arms but not sure they will fit - lots of homework needed there! I have also bought a front brake from the classifieds here and will add Bull horn bars. Hoping to get the frame a nice grey then everything else in black. Problem is most of the shops are closed so struggling with finding good advice!! I will keep you posted as i get more and the project grows.
Gucci Posted January 10, 2014 Author Posted January 10, 2014 Frame has arrived, ordered brooks swift ti saddle, front brake sorted, bars sorted, looking at some very different wheels!!
madbradd Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Looks good Gucci. Putting together my writeup and pics for my On-One build. But I have a spare square taper crank you can try. Don't know how to upload pics from mobile site, so pm me and I can send you a pic. Its only a 33 tooth though and don't think you can change it, so might not be great for road.
Gucci Posted January 13, 2014 Author Posted January 13, 2014 Brooks saddle arrives tomorrow. Need to source a front deep dish black wheel.
Letum911 Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 Ooooh that back wheel is nice!!! I always fantasized about having a tri-spoke front wheel with a solid disc at the back. Keep us updated
Gucci Posted January 15, 2014 Author Posted January 15, 2014 Brooks titanium swift seat going black tomorrow and new Bullhorn bars - just blew some cash on eBay too

Gucci Posted January 16, 2014 Author Posted January 16, 2014 The pedals. I wanted something a little unique
Gucci Posted January 16, 2014 Author Posted January 16, 2014 The pedals. Not sure I'm going to keep them as I will probably want straps
Gucci Posted January 16, 2014 Author Posted January 16, 2014 Hub - hoping the sticker will be able to be removed
Gucci Posted January 16, 2014 Author Posted January 16, 2014 ebay buys!!! I think thats about it now - Kevin from BMC is putting it all together and adding the BB and chain, grips and i bought a TRP front brake from the classifieds.
Gucci Posted January 16, 2014 Author Posted January 16, 2014 to add a chain guard or not to add a chainguard!!!
