Here is the corrected version of THIS thread: my fixed gear project. I figured, since some members posted ideas on how to make the thread a bit better, I would do this as a thank you. So...here you have it: the updated, corrected, working-picture, and properly titled thread on my project bike which was started in the beginning of January and completed on Friday night, March 30.

Where to start....
I had been in the market for a fixed geared bike...an older track frame and build up as parts, or a complete bike that i could make a few changes to. I had been eyeballing the Langster at the shop where I worked for a bit, and the price of it was very attractive to me. But then I thought to myself...I'm going to buy another bike...I already have quite a few (not that there is anything wrong with that) and was trying to inimize somewhat. I went to this beauty:

...did a little research and decided to jump in. Sent this frame to JacobS (he's here on the board) to have him remove the vertical drop outs and install new track ends. Got her back and she went straight to paint: Cycledelics in Bayshore, NY did the paint job matched to a Sapphire Blue from a Serotta sample tube:

Then...I went looking for parts:
