This is my new bike, first fixed gear :) Picked it up this morning for NZ$150 (about US $94)
It's a 531 lugged steel track frame (R. Cossey, a New Zealand frame builder).
I'm taking it home this weekend for a bit of TLC before picking up some brakes, tires, and a new front fork, I'm going to use it for a commuter / around town cruiser.
Any comments / suggestions / advice appreciated.
Cheers

Dude. It kinda looks like you have a rolled oats spoke card. Which might not be such a bad idea.

Looks nice, change the seat first Also are both of the handle bars wrapped the same? The left one looks like it has more tape on it.

Definitely keep the oats.
