Nearly finished my first fixie build for a friend. What do you guys reckon?

Just waiting on some bar tape from someone on here (hint hint!), and a chain. Take the stickers off the front wheel and decide what pedals I'm going to put on it.

Not a convert to this stuff myself yet, but it does look quite pretty!

I was more excited before I worked out which bits were bike and which were reflections in your absurdly shiney oven door.

It's all clever camera trickery, I can assure you it isn't that shiny, or even that clean, in real life!

Look a bit frail for proper off road use

Its great, the inner roadie in me likes it... I know its not finished but the bars are a funny angle even for a fixie, no?

If it was me- I'd turn the bars round/upwards a smidgen more- for traffic comfort

After I'd posted I knew someone would spot the bars! Not in the finished position yet, also the very keen eye will spot I had not put on the last bit of the headset!

Bit of a dilemna about the tape as I like the shiny bars, do I keep em naked, or half tape them? Plus do I use brown tape or Bianchi green/blue colour?
