I like to build them myself. I have built 3 so far. I love riding this way, it's the only way to make road riding interesting and challenging.

Hi, I've looked at the langster as it would suit my budget, but I have also looked at a home build using an old frame if I could find the right components, probably enjoy going the home build route even if it takes a while to find the bits I need.
Hmmmm...

er, don't know what went on there Ben, was commenting on a post, next thing I'm a member of the fixed gear fans group.
By the way I am a fan of fixies and am planning to build one this year '09, but feel I'm not really a "qualified" enough fixie fan to be a proper fixed gear fan yet.....

Good mag devoted to fixed wheels here. See if your local bike shop will get it for you. Cheers N
