I'm going to build a fixed gear bike, mostly for just piddling around for extra miles and some commuting. But, I want it to be capable of hauling a$$ if I ride with some of the other hammerheads, maybe even take it to the Dick Lane Velodrome (as a newbie to track cycling) here in Atlanta.
I don't want to put much $$$ as this is just a 'fun' project that may have the benefits of improving while just having 'fun' riding without the OCD training mentality.
Thinking along the lines of an old aluminum cervelo P2sl. It's pretty perfect for what I'm looking to do here. I've priced out some of these, and some P2Cs, circa 2006-2009, and it looks like they are pretty cheap whilst still being quality stuff.
size? 56 would be perfect. I can make a 54 work for this thing if needed.
Do you have any other bikes I should look for? Do you have any of these ^^^ that you could part with to get that garage or basement a little more cleaned out?
Maybe this should have gone in the main forum first for the ideas and then brought the search to here but, wth, since when did I start doing things that make sense?....
