I plan on purchasing this Cinelli Mash Bolt 2.0. This will be my first fixed gear and I've never built a bike efore. What should I know about building a fixed gear? What parts do I need? Thank you all for your help 🙏.
Bottom bracket, crankset, wheels, seatpost, saddle, stem, handlebars. Think about what gearing you want based on where you’re riding. 42×16 is usually pretty popular.
Since it’s a cinelli, you can go nuts and put campy record pista bits, or go the NJS route. I’d probably want some nice components to match the frame.

You need a friendly LBS to guide you.
When I first started building bikes, the guidance and advice I received from my local bike shop was invaluable.
