The building of a bike

Day number 1, this is gonna be fun



This is an empty spot against my wall. Sooner or later, there will be a bike here. Not just any bike, my perfect bike. Its going to be expensive, but it is going to be awesome, trust me.

I have wanted to build a bike since I first got into fixed gear about three years ago. Now that I finally know what I am doing the time has come. My goal is to have all the components by my birthday, May 17th. The interesting part is going to be the fund raising. Here's the rules:

- No using money from my normal paycheck
- No borrowing money from anyone (Erica)
- NO CREDIT CARD ORDERING
- The final component will be the chain so that I cannot ride it until I have absolutely every part I want
- No touching of the hair or face


Money that will go towards this:
- My tax return
- Any sort of birthday money
- Selling my books back money
- Thievery (kidding)

This blog will chronicle my fund raising and bike building adventure. The first things on the chopping block: My guitar, some records, my zune AV kit, and possibly my old boots. Profits totals will be posted when they are available. Here is a link to my Ebay:

In the meantime, here is some inspiration
