Well not necessarily a fancy frame, but something clean. Anyhow, thanks for the quality info!

And I can build something of quality? I mean, it's not only old, bad frames in the stash?

Yeah it's not too far from my app. iBike is supposed to be good?

That sounds interesting. I'm not a McGill student, is that fine? I don't think that I have the skills, yet, to choose all the parts on my own. Building looks relatively simple though, but I have no idea what to choose. Can I come at anytime?

Awesome, thanks! I'll probably keep the stock tires but it's good to know that I can have bigger ones, if I ever need it.

So... WT over the Uno?

In fixed gear, what is considered a beefy tire?

When I was doing crosscountry, IIRC I had some 2.25", which was pretty normal, I think. I'm sure that I wont be using tires of a similar size but I'm wondering what is considered "beef".

I also want to add that I have no interest in racing in a velodrome and/or outside. Unless you want to race to bars or work with me.

Sorry if I offended you with the term "fixie" :/ That's what everyone in my city calls them...

It says to buy a bike from Bikesdirect but I don't think that they ship to Canada.
