Building first fixed gear bike

Huw

hey guys,

i have had a fixed gear now for a while but bought second hand already built and have juggled around with the idea of building one and after a few days of hour long research i have put together what i think would make a nice fixed gear for an decent price and im wondering (as i dont know a huge amount about building a bike) could someone look at what i have and tell me if it would actually work and what they think of it? here are the links if anyone has the time! and have i left out anything important?

You've no brakes.



You also haven't included bar tape.

Morgan

That's a lot of white. Are you planning on taking this bike outside?

TinyExplosions

No saddle listed there...

Huw

had the saddle in wrong its there now, i have a spare front break ill use and this bikes only going out on a rare sunny day

im wondering will that bottom bracket and crank and chainring work and fit together and fit in the frame? as i said i dont know alot about building a bike

Harrybelafonte

I don't think your stem and handlebars are compatible. The stem is for a larger diameter handlebar. I could be wrong though.

Huw

thanks! ill take a look at that again or see if someone else knows

Eamonnator

handlebars and stem are not compatible.
The top of the headset will be visible, that one you have there
is,well, very black.

Huw

haha that could be a problem do other stems cover the whole headset? or will i need to try find a compatible white headset,, which could be very hard..

this might suit.
I'm no good at this stuff. I don't think that worked

Huw

found there page with the description can someone tell me if it fits, and ill be getting a different stem to fit the handlebars

Morgan

I'm not sure I should be facilitating this carry-on, but that frame requires an internal or "zero-stack" headset (so colour won't be a big issue).

Maybe something like this:

Huw

cool thanks! so that sorts out the headset/handlebar/stem, can someone tell me does the bottom bracket fit the crank and chainring?

Eamonnator

You're good to go with the BB and cranks.

These grips might suit.
Try and keep quiet about them though, or you'll be inundated
with advice on how to keep them white.

When you're done, will you post some photos, please.
Use a black background, if you don't mind, although it would be nice to see
against a white background.

Morgan

I believe white Ourys are the appropriate grip for a "bike" like this.

Also, you know you need one of these on the front to tie the whole thing together.
