Pedals, clips, straps, lockring, saddle and stem spacers will be replaced.
It is currently 21 degrees F in chicago.
Cold fingers and toes, silent smooth rides, and big grins.
I love this bike so far....

Thanks to everyone on this forum and thread for the recommendations on this bike and bikesdirect. I ordered on friday and got the bike on wednesday. Top notch packing and quick service. I have been looking into a fixed gear and researching and searching out old frames for quite awhile now, and I am quite pleased that I decided to just get a (relatively) cheap complete bike instead of building one up. I will, however, probably build one in the spring.

But for now, it's time to RIDE...

( I hope that this is not too many photos. Just let me know and I will remove some)
the color looks great! nice choice.
