Hi Dennis,

Thank you so much for this site it certainly provided me with a lot of insp= iration for this build. This is my first fixed gear. I built it= up from an old frame and fork I got from my LBS (Student Bike Shop) who he= lped me throughout the project. By a fluke of chain allignment she en= ded up with a big ol' 52-16 gear on her. I was hesitant at first but = then I fell in love with it. While her acceleration isn't outsta= nding once she gets going she flys up and down hills. The components = aren't anything special but I did do a custom paint job with a black base c= oat and a purple pearlescent over the top so that she rides black in the sh= adows and purple in the light. Special thanks to Justin and all the p= eople who put up with me blathering on about "fixies" for the past few mont= hs. My donation is on the way.
