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)

there's a 2009 bianchi k-vid carbon + ultegra here for $1000. they retail for $3k? It's a little more than I wanted to spend but it seems like a great deal to me. it's listed as mint (9.5/10) condition

The Avid Shorty 4 Cyclocross Brakeset includes everything you'll need to equip your 'cross bike, front to rear and at a smoking deal.

It's decent but not that good, try to talk the seller down... if it was in it's stock form (with nicer components then it has right now), that would be a great deal.

IRO has an excellent deal on rims: https://www.irocycle.com/irocoldfusionrims.aspx

These are apparently rebranded KinLin XR-270 rims - around 450g each and quite excellent. Normally is around $55 each.
