It's in Pasadena, I've got a link in my sig. Come out on Saturday for Le Tour!

As for the Fixie, I haven't even started building wheels yet, I still need to get the hubs and everything.

I've been so busy lately that it's not a huge priority.

Jesse, take a look at IRO's website. They have a good deal on a fixed/free wheelset, silver and black. The hubs are rebadged Formula hubs and the rims are rebadged Velocity Fusion rims. At $189 it's hard to beat the price.

Take a look at these thread for more info:

I am most likely getting a set if I proceed with my planned build of a 1988 Specialized lugged steel bike into a fixed/free commuter/errand bike.

I'll take you out to Encino Velodrome, it's a good place to get used to riding fixed.

The ADT center is rad, but it's a bit intimidating for a first time.
