>>1094728I'm doing this for a fun bike/short commuter/stuntin' fixie
Starting from a busted old Schwinn World Tourist (The cranks are wobbly fucked up and the rear hub is wobbly and fucked up and it's not worth fixing it again.)
I ordered these parts for the wheels because my LBS doesn't do weird heavy duty shit like I like to ride, but I will get my LBS to build the wheels and source the spokes. I'm probably going to go with alternating black, red, and silver.
I can go with 700c instead of 27" because the brakes are adjustable.
120mm Surly Fix/Fix + Velocity Dyad 48h rear (I'll have to use some spacers because my rear drops are 130mm, but nbd, cuz steel is real.)
100mm All City + Velocity Dyad 48h front (the All City was on sale)
I got some red tires, because why not?
I got some red Origin8 cranks 46T 170mm, and an 18T cog at 1/8"
Initially, I'm going to keep the old brake calipers and the handlebars and etc. that are on there now, and I haven't settled on pedals. If I end up getting really smooth at skip stopping, then I may take the brakes off so that I can do barspin stuntin', but deffo not initially. I may also upgrade to a heavier duty headset later on, but I don't need to right away.
Criticize my choices if you want. If you make a good argument, I might do something else.
