cmon *******s, what kind of bicycle do you really want.

Or is everyone still too cool to have fun on the internet.

one that works

I love Vanilla Track Bikes with the crome lugs... Bike 1 and Bike 3. and the Grey Fixie.

Colnago C50 Pista

comedy option: SKRAP0R BYKE ON 29'S W/ CURB FEELAZ SO I DON SCRATCH MAH DEEP VZ

seriously though I want a cervelo p2t in 60cm painted black with some suze gold hubs laced to v's

I commute on mine so I'd go for something like a vintage Trek 720: Reynolds 531, fenders, rack, long Campy 1010 dropouts, randonneur bars.

Ti frame and fork, thinking of Merlin for the build .

Chris King, Syntace, Clavicula, Zipp, Thomson equipped.

don mcclung ss 29er.

Evil Sovereign frame
Fox 36 fork
Ti-King headset
Hadley/mavics
Avid Juicy 7's 160mm
Profile cranks, ti spindle
Thomson stem, post
WTB Rocket V stealth
Deity bars for style points
One of those hydro-gyros, just 'cause you never know.

steve rex ss coupled lugged steel track frame columbus slx tubes hand carved lugs and couplers nice like powder coat job with a zipp disc in the rear and a matching front now thats a bike (strictly for racing)

ideal all rounder something lugged steel with campy 1010s and a nice thick paint job and some sturdy wheels maybe a cetma or ant rack and mustache bars

A custom Makino frame, Kaisei 8630 tubing.
And all the components I already own swapped to that frame.

This is my favorite fixed gear bike.

Track geometry
Columbus Aeroplane or Easton Aluminum tubing
high modulus carbon fork, straight blade if possible. Reynolds Ouzo Pro if not
Reynolds CF Wheelset, tufo tubulars
Easton aluminum seat post

nice and light.

The same Langster '07 I have know, but custom built from the ground up with my own measurements, including a longer top tube, shorter head tube, move the seatube back one inch, and blinged-out with uber-light componentry.

The one I'm building, 80's Gios Evolution Pista frame, never been ridden. I have changed my mind a few times, but it's got Mavic Ellipse wheels on order, Campy Record Pista Crank, Fixie Inc. straight bar and carscratchers, Thompson post, Colnago stem, FiZik saddle, what else... I'll be posting photos in about a week.

lots of nude carbon fiber. And a hub that won't strip and spokes that wont break.

langster, custom coloring: flat powder blue (frame), black compontents

Good luck getting Steve to do lugs. It will cost you.

Bianchi Posta Concept...want one badlee.

Clavicula. What length do you want it in, I heard that the waiting time on anything but 175, I think, is fairly long. Though with the look of that build you probably have been/will be putting it together over a long long time.

Now for the bike, BMC track machine (to match my BMC road bike).
Zipp 606
EC90 track bars
Flite Kit carbonio
KCNC Ti seatpost
DA cranks (7800 or 7710)
Wipperman 1G8 chain
Suntour cog
Look Keo Carbon pedals.
Dugast silk tyres.

old school - cinelli or colnago with all NOS campy record parts
new school - something very oversized. oversized tubing, deep section wheels, aero seat post, etc.

Does Steve Rex build the track frame for 650c wheels (like his road-specific) or the more traditional geometry?

I'm faily sure he will build whatever you need. I've seen a couple of his 650 road bikes but he mostly does them for shorter folks to improve standover. He is a really nice guy and an amazing builder. hit him up.

BTW the first 2 pics don't have a 650 wheel. That guy is huge! I've spoken with him and seen that bike up close.

I'd love to find a NOS Raleigh Record Ace.
