Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

I don't understand him enough to know the components.

OP

In my experience the forum can sometimes be a bit harsh, but hey ho. As a rule of thumb a qualified question usually gets a qualified answer. Have you considered starting here? Also there is a search function, lots of resources available, and furthermore your local bike shop might be able to help. Based on your initial post it sounds like you might need some professional assistance whatever you do.

Yeah, I need some professional assistance for sure. But can someone just help me list the parts?

I'll start you off; please fill in the blanks:

Rear wheel:
Crankset:
Saddle:
Seatpost:
Stem:
Handlebar:
Chain:
Pedals:
This is a very good start. I'll ad headset, the thingy that connects the fork to the frame. Don't mean to patronize you, but please, please whatever you do, don't attempt to build a bike yourself if between you, the BF search function and Google you can't work out what parts you need. Alternatively do a 5 min. research, post your list and people just might chip in on what your missing.

GAH! FINE!

Frame: Leader 735
Fork: PZ Racing Components CR2.1F Carbon
Front wheel: HED 3, Continental Sprinter tire
Rear wheel: Velocity A23, Suzue ProMax Track Hub, Vittoria Randonneur tire
Crankset: SRAM Omnium
Bottom Bracket: GXP
Saddle: Fizik Arione
Seatpost: Thompson Elite
Stem: Cinelli Pista
Headset: FSA ZS3
Handlebar: Deda Pista
Chain:
Pedals: MKS, All City Med. cage, Toshi Double Strap


That's what he said during the video. I really wouldn't emulate this build, though. He seems to have chosen his parts for maximum street cred. rather than, say, price/performance.

That took less than 10 minutes, but it was still time I had to spend listening to imbecilic teenage bro-speak.
