My first fixie

I've always been fascinated with fixed gear bikes (especially the fun and physical benefits). I finally felt compelled to build one for myself. I didn't have much money to spend or didn't have the know how. After much reading online and careful purchasing from Ebay and Craigslist, I finally finished building my first fixie and have been riding to and from work on it for about 1 month. Aside from losing lots of weigh, avoiding being a slave to public transportation schedules, and not spending any more money on gas, I'm having a blast. Thx Sheldon Brown for your vast knowledge and guidance. May you rest in peace.

I took this video after I installed my 16t cog, mounted my wheels and chain.
