It started with a frame...

So this is where it starts.

The Vindec Project.

Aim: build a dream fixed gear bike, mostly from used bits of other bikes that people don't want anymore.

Timescale: uncertain.

Commitment: definitely.

Taking stock, I've got a beautiful, battered old steel Vindec 'Speedwing' frame, with a slightly clunky bottom bracket, a headset that could use some work, and a fork built for the wrong-size wheels.

I've also got a few cheap bike tools (from Lidl), very little in the way of mechanical know-how, not much time on my hands and a miniscule budget.

The Vindec Project is going to be a good one. I'll post updates to let people know how I get on. Meanwhile, old bike bits for the project gratefully received...
