Building A Bike

So as my nice bike has been stolen, I am now riding around on a crappy Schwinn Spirit. I am thinkin for a new bike I just might buy it piece by piece. I have never done this before, but am very excited about the idea. I want a light weight frame, flip flop hub, bull horn handlebars. Anyone got any suggestions on where to buy parts and what to buy to make it light and cost friendly.

Ya - fixed gear track bikes are sex. There's no question in my mind about that.

nice color.. what size is that?61cm

I think it is a 63cm. They came in 23" and 25" ( 25 inches = 63.5 centimeters) among other sizes that year. It is one or the other. I'll measure it tonight and report back.

I just measured it. It is 63 cm from the center of the crank to the center of the top tube.
