For those who are just tuning in...
1951 CCM - conversion from coaster equipped model.
1955 Raleigh Lenton Reg Harris, original fixed gear model.

I took this picture right after I had installed a different saddle (Ideale) and blasted off to an event... it got adjusted right after I took this picture. YOu can see the saddle on my Lenton which is level where it needs to be, which is across the back.

First post - I must be living dangerously starting with photos. I've been lurking, reading and learning here for a month as I worked on my first fixed gear bike. I just finished converting my favorite, old road racing frame to fixed gear. The frame will be 24 years old in April and the current re-paint looks great considering it is 22 years old. Tubeset is a mix of True Temper RC and RCX with Columbus dropouts and Henry James lugs. I'm planning on lacing up some new wheels so I temporarily went with a VeloMine special in the rear and my original Campagnolo Strada Hardox rims laced to old Record hub in the front (perfectly true, laced it up in '90!).

Still toying with the idea of a brown B17 Swift and matching bar tape, though as-is she's been pretty good to me so far...
