New here need your help
Hello everyone.
Im looking for some help in putting together my first proper fixed gear bike, ive had a few before but theyve all been already built. Sorry i cant link anything because im new, so ive just copy and pasted the description of the item. Its the best i can do.
This time im going all out and going for somewhat good parts.
I want to save on weight too, this will just be a commute bike to get from A-B.
Heres a list of things ive got in mind.
Frame is the Singlespeed Atelier Supercorsa Pista.
Wheelset would be either the American Classic Carbon 40 Track Clincher Wheelset which come in at around 1705grams.
Or the Miche Supertype Pista SPX5/Disc Track Wheelset - Carbon.... Depending on hoe it looks, this is a maybe.. More expensive and heavier but i do like the look of these.
Im gonna go for some nice compact drops. Can anyone provide me with a good chainring that will go with this frame? Preferably like a 48T.
To save some weight on pedals instead of using clipless with the footplate ill be going for eggbeaters instead.
Every little weight saved counts i guess.
Let me know if what i should avoid or if you have something better in mind
Thanks

You could build a lighter and cheaper wheelset using a formula track rear hub with a quick release road front hub laced to Sun Assault rims at around 1500 grams. As for chainring,Sugino makes nice round SS chainrings in multiple colors. Don't get the Messenger ring if you want to save weight,get they're SS rings. Aslo,go with a modern road double outboard bearing crankset,they are superior to sqauer taper and a dime a dozen.

Forgive me if I am about to sound harsh, but I had a rough morning so am just not in the mood for *****footin' around...
What the hell is a "Singlespeed Atelier Supercorsa Pista"? Both of the wheelsets you mentioned are pretty damned expensive, so since money does not seem to be a concern for you - it leads me to believe you mean a Cinelli Supercorsa Pista?
If so, neither of those wheelsets, whatever their other pros and cons, are anywhere close to being "right" for a SC Pista.
If not...then what the hell is a "Singlespeed Atelier Supercorsa Pista"?
