Hello fellow redditors. It's been 2 years since my last bike was stolen and finally have had the monies to build the bike I've wanted. I've first jumped on a fixed bout 12 years or so ago now and I can't think of anything else that compares to riding. Builds I've had in past include Cinelli Mash Bolt, Affinity Lo Pro Champagne Money color way and GOAT Track OG. I miss them all dearly and needed something to that would remind me of those builds. Thanks for all comments and suggestions, I am so excited to finally get back on me bike. 👏

Gonna be fuego
Hate those pedals tbh, especially on such a big baller build. There’s not enough foot support, big empty space
That build is gon be lit🔥
Interesting. Now Don’t be a tease. Post when completed.
Looks like you googled ‘best fixed gear build’ and picked those parts. In all seriousness, looks like it’ll be a great time to ride 👌👌
I haven’t seen that many nice parts on single photo for a while. Don’t know where you live but keep it locked because it will be painful to lose these parts. Good luck with building tho
Really sick. Personally, I’d pick a more versatile saddle, brooks are classy but I hate to beat on em. I also prefer a straight seatpost. That ring is rad but I will say, a dura ace ring on a grand mighty is the coolest pair I’ve ever seen, something about the matte grey and champagne really gels. Or a zen, can’t go wrong.
Lets see the whole frame!
Mavic lockring procurement is a patient and treacherous process! Nice build
Woah mamma!!
Chef kiss
Gonna be a sick build 👍 where’d you get the ellipses? I’ve been looking for a pair. They got some knock off ones on ebay but I’d prefer a legit set.
Brooks, even though they’re considered one of the best are heavy AF.. both my B17 and C17 carved are tanks
Lots of nice parts there. You must have tough legs to run a 48/15, but I guess nyc ain’t too hilly
Brooks saddles don’t do it for me personally but you do you. The angled cuts on that cutout look like they’d pinch your nuts 😂
