I was always interested in getting a fixie, but never got around it. But since I now have some time in hand, I decided to fix myself a fixie-turn-track bike hopefully it would form my daily commute in the future. The first item I bought was not the frame, but the wheels and I am still pretty much in the dark about how to turn it from road to track! HELLLPPPP!!! :)
Frame:
Terry Dolan Pre-Cursa
Fork/Headset:
Alpina Carbon/Alpina

Shimano Dura-Ace, non-catridge
Pedals:

Drivetrain/Cog/Chainring/Chain:
Dura-Ace (classic) crank and 42 chainring, 16t cog.
Saddle/Seatpost:
USE Aero single screw, I know it's crap

Front Wheel/Hub/Tire:

Still struggling to convert the wheels from road to track, anyone willing to share their experience and dos and don'ts when converting a set of Specialized carbon wheel from road to track is much appreciated.
