This was my first fixie build. I got the bike from Craigslist for . I stripped it down and chopped all the junk off. I painted the frame with Dupli-Color primer, paint, and clear. Total build time was 80 hours, mostly invested in buffing the paint. I also hand-stitched the leather grips and put little leather washers here-and-there around the bike for a bit of class.
