^ i like that bikes tape and seat
buy the parts and do it yourself... it's cheap and easy.
- I've been looking at how much parts are... and i think it would cost more to do it by myself though right?********

hmm... quick question, is this bike for looks and style or practicality? If you are going for practicality, just buy a used road bike (all that matters is that the frame fits you) and strip it down... buy a new back wheel, maybe handle bars and/or clips...
you just have to keep in mind you're not just buying a bike but also expensive locks.
- why would you tell someone to buy new wheels and handle bars and talk about practicality? wouldnt you spend money on gears/ brakes first********
- gears and breaks? or something that makes the old bike work better?********
- Single speed or fixed gear you'll never have more than one gear.sfeske

No worries, I was just giving my two cents on the topic. I have a fixie myself that I built up over time and it has still cost me less than $500. I'm just saying it can be done... but you are right it does depend on the used road bike you find.

this is my current ride. not quite $500, although there a heaps of nice fixies on ebay under $500.
