First ever SS/Fixi build


Gucci

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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
