My first true fixie build

Ok so I started out with wheels. These are Amelia wheels in purple from Eighthinch

I bought these originally to go on a Raleigh bike that I was going to convert into a fixie, but I ended up selling it.

So I had wheels and nothing else, then I found the Scrambler V3, an awesome frame and then my build started!

Bought everything ( not pictured; Shimano BB, Origin8 white saddle, green headset, green peddles, and green handlebars, no-name spacers and stem, and micargi cranks), and got Kevin to custom paint my chainring, seatpost clamp and seatpost.

Got it built, but still felt it was missing something

Oh yeah; a front brake, grips and my painted parts!

I love it, but I still wanna build more. It's scary, my wife wants me to have hobbies and building bikes and sewing are fun but they get expensive.

Toe Straps!

I made some toe straps thanks to a buddy of mine Kevin, who bought some and thought that it was something I could make. But here they are white and purple..

They took me several hours, granted I was busy watching 'The Frog Princess' with Katie. Oh but I also found an awesome website that sells all the things I have been longing for at really nice prices too! check em out, I feel like I am going to use these guy from now on!

Orange you glad I made a new bike!

Okay. so I fail at blog posting but anyway, here is a bike I built, and omg it took forever. In fact it is still not done, had to have a part machined, so it got sent to Chicago to get done. I am waiting to get it back, lol. then it will be all back together, except for new wheels, different cranks, chain and handle bars lol. I will post new pictures when it come in

Diet coke away!

Going shopping with the girls -.-, its gonna be a long evening...

Kitty!

Test

TATTOO DAY!!!

We started off our day chilling at home. Where she squirted me in the face with my own 'bad kitty no' spray bottle, and I wasn't even miss behaving :(

Camila who was my partner in crime for the day was very impatient and wanted to leave as soon as we could, then proceeded to RACE up to the shop.

She was not feeling my music that I wanted to listen to so I had to cheer her up!

See she is trying not to smile!

I totally wanna live here when I get older ~maybe~. Its just the name and me being a red head.

We arrive, this is

We got started and he was having so much fun, so was I!
