  1. How much would it cost to do this to mine? This exact one, but I already have the bike, which you could use the frame, etc.

    Thanks!

  2. Depending on options you want for the bike, I'd say anywhere from 200-$300. If you are interested in acquiring a build quote, please let me know via email at urbanfixbikes@gmail.com. Please include colors, options,and any specific parts you may want. Examples: wheels, crank, brakes, bars, seat, and whether you want a flip-flop hub or fixed gear only. Thanks for your inquiry and interest in Urban Fix Custom Bikes. PS sorry it took so long for me to respond.
