This is my first build. Currently its a single speed instead of a fixed gear and I couldn’t love it more. I have some custom Captain America vinyl graphics on there way but I simply couldn’t wait to submit to the site. The frame is a Visp frame and most of the parts are middle of the road except for the Phil Wood BB. I’ll have a photo update when the graphics are on and MFG can let me know whether or not to keep them. Cheers

The BB deserves a better frame!
Those track ends………….

Please no Capt.America graphics on this Chinese pile. Can’t you see the irony? It is a passable piece as is,upgradeing plan makes sense. Maybe Flying Tiger emblems would work karmicly.

Not a bad build for what it is. Steer tube needs to be cut down in my opinion. Never been a fan of white bicycles. Phil Wood BB is a bit overkill. Setup looks dialed though. I have to agree with anthony cobb. The Visp track ends and area around the seat tube are almost induce vomiting.

appreciate the early feedback. I got the BB for bargain price at my LBS at it was too good to pass up. I plan to cut the top of the steer tube off, just trying to find the comfort zone. I’m, 6 ft 3 so things are tough on the lankeyness.

Is there a law against putting Phil stuff cheap frames? I can’t see how having a good BB is overkill..
Oh! Nice VISP!

There’s no laws against putting expensive parts on a good frame, I would just assume that your priorities were a bit strange if you were putting such a high end BB in a low end frame. Glad to hear you got it cheap and your taking your time to get the setup dialed.

Still too much white, imo – should look much better with the upcoming graphics. The spoke coloring is mildly interesting…although I wouldn’t have them on my bike. Don’t know why you’re apologizing for riding a freewheel…coasting is fun, too.

…but, if you’re gonna run a freewheel, ya might wanna invest in something better than that brassy-looking $6 chinese piece
