Not knowing were your starting or what your aiming at. This is a very hard question to answer.

General experience is that you can buy a newy for less than than the cost of the parts(a "used" even cheaper). A lot less hassle too.

Then you would have a bike for both "things"

First, a fixie isn't a highway motorbike. that's a velodrome motorbike, a Time Trial motorbike yet no longer a highway motorbike. traditionally you additionally can locate fixies contained in the circuses, monkeys and canines experience fixies, I even observed a goat using a fixie. at present you will locate them contained in the parks besides doing tricks like using backwards and so, and exhibiting hues like in some style of matting ritual. yet they are undesirable alternatives for highway and commuting, specially if hills and site visitors are in touch. highway vs mountain. confident vast distinction. in case you experience in asphalt or concrete = highway, in case you experience in airborne dirt and airborne dirt and mud and rocks = mountain. must be hassle-free adequate. A fixie's physique won't have the gap on the physique to place a derailleur hanger. there's a familiar upload-on hanger that could fit yet while the drops are dealing with backwards won't artwork. The drops won't be extensive adequate to settle for a assorted equipment wheel. The cable stops are no longer concern as you will locate upload-on cable stops that clamp to the physique. The shifters might desire to fee as much as an entire motorbike. you will detect a motorbike with drop handlebars at Goodwill for $30. The motorbike won't be superb yet you will possibly be able to desire to apply the handlebars. New handlebars will fee plenty. Fixies reason extra harm to knees, tend to interrupt chains, reason extra injuries until eventually you upload brakes. have you ever seen that motorbike zooming nevertheless the purple gentle? It in all danger grow to be a fixie and had no thank you to end. For a 4 mile commute, in basic terms approximately any motorbike will do, even a monkey motorbike. Now, if this is your transportation, does no longer or no longer that's extra advantageous to have the skill to hold books? groceries? have airborne dirt and mud guards? brakes? A motor vehicle you will possibly be able to additionally use for wellness and long distance traveling?
