Tempted to buy a qoroz fixed frame and build it myself.

Is there a 'how to build' website with a full list of parts i'll need to source? (hopefully slowly get them when i find them cheapish)

I know about sheldon's website, but figure this might be different as it's for conversions rather than straight track / fixed bike?

Want to build a fixed gear that i can also use on the track, so simple brake to take off and on.

Suggestions appreciated. Sorry if been asked many time before, could't find in search..

    Be aware that a fixie without a front brake might not be allowed on track.

    e.g. BB height is minimum 24cm

    Simply removing your brake might not be enough, especially if you get serious you'll need wheels without a braking surface and/or tubs.
