58cm fixed road bike

After spending months of looking for parts and building up this bike I have decided to stick to my geared bike, so i'm gonna sell it and thought I would offer it here before I put it on the bay.
so here goes,

Frame and fork are an INDI 500 tange crmo 56 top and 56 seat tube
Brand new 105 headset
Italmanussi stem
3T bars (i've got some itm ones that i put on but found to wide aswell)
105 brakes
tektro levers
sella italia gen gel saddle
stronglight 1/8" chainring
shimano cranks (I think they are 105)
Ambrosia large flange hubs, double fixed with 14 and 16 tooth cog (one being a miche)
mavic open pro rims
Continental Ultrasport 20mm tyres
I would like to keep the pedals but I have a pair of look pedals some other spd's or some cheap ones with toe clips




Bike looks and ride really nice and feels really solid
offers?

£350 is a fuckload for a conversion! and here me thinking that selling my conversion for only £200 is too much.

At the moment it is fixed both sides but I have a freewheel that I can put on if your intrested.
or I have a cheaper set of wheels that I could put on it that are freewheel only and reduce the price of the bike

Oh just ride it fixed instead of freewheel, it´s not that hard to fathom riding fixed.

I thought that I would want to have the option of the freewheel but I've never used it, nor the back brake for that matter!

When I wanted to go fixed, I decided to choose singlespeed, fearing that fixed might be a hit or miss, or take a while to get used to, so I got a rear wheel built with a singlespeed freewheel.

until I realise they mistakely put a fixed hubs on, it was a bit drastic but I went for it anyway, add a cog, tyres, and the change from my geared road bike to a fixed road bike was big but the learning curve is surprisingly small as long you remember not to automatically coase.

so if I were you, go straight to fixed, save you money from buying a freewheel rear wheel and then a fixed one, thought I never heard anyone here wanting to ride with a freewheel instead of a fixed wheel once they made the change.

tell you what, if you didn't like it, I own you a pints.

dito. once you go fixed its hard to want to ride a freewheel, seems too easy.

i've got flip flop hub on mine, thought it would come in useful.

reality is i'd never dream of using the freewheel now, I'd have preferred fixed-fixed then I could run two different ratio's by flipping the wheel.

i believe a fixed-fixed gives you the option to run a freewheel anyway.

why the need for another thread? if it's not selling, then reduce the price or be patient or shock horror try ebay.
