FGSS frame advice

london-red

Afternoon all.. So, I'm fed up with poorly indexed gears and the hassle of cleaning, lubing and replacing chains and cassette pretty much indefinitely. So, I'm going to go all rad and get myself a fixie. Can anyone offer any advice, opinions on the following please? Or offer alternative suggestions? Or sell me theirs at a bargain price? (I ride a 58cm btw ;-)

Budget is around £200 - £250 for the frameset!

Its for disc brakes but you would save the extra weight on the frame...

Do they do them with track ends though?

Fuji Track @ £280 all in?

Or someone on LFGSS has a Cotic Roadrat, not sure how much

Thanks - saw the Fuji, but find it a bit uninspiring... The colour scheme is horrendous.

Has anyone had any experience with BLB frames?

:shock:
Someone didn't think that through too well

Nice. That would certainly make a statement...

I opted for the Brother Swift in the end, as got one pretty much brand new from lfgss.com - now in the process of putting it together.

Certainly wouldn't want to stop to sharpish and slide off the seat on to the top tube...
