Bikes: 34 frames + 80 wheels

What is your next build ?

Do you have any new builds still in the planning stages ? Is it somehow unique or different from what you now have or is it a modern interpretation of some classic theme ? What are the constraints on it such as budget, time frame for completion and minimum quality of the parts ? How will it be used and how practical must it be ?

Anyway, I'd like anyone interested to share your planned builds in this thread. I'll kick it off with mine:

Theme: Modern interpretation of my vintage Schwinn Paramount P14 track bike, but suitable for street use.

Constraints: Total cost under $2000 and completion by Christmas 2013.

Parts list: Soma Rush white frame with threaded chrome fork and Tange Levin chrome headset, Dura Ace 7600 fix/fix HF track hubs 32 hole with Mavic Open pro silver rims (Velomine), IRD Defiant cranks and QB55 BB, Whipperman Whitestar silver chain 1/8", EAI Deluxe track cog 1/8" x 17T, MKS Royal Nuevo pedals, MKS clips, Toshi Deluxe single straps, Nitto Classic Road handlebar with white bar tape, Nitto Pearl quill stem, Nitto Dynamic 626 seatpost, Selle Italia Flite 1990 saddle, Tektro R540 silver front brake caliper and Dia Compe Gran Compe Shot silver brake lever.

Items TBD: Tires
