Ok, ALMOST done, but can't wait to post the pics... Here's my "2nd" fixed project (1st only kind of counts...I bought a converted Schwinn Varsity, haha).

Unknown 56cm frame (looks like SE Lager/Windor Hour/Dawes SST), but it's matte black with Ritchey 1 1/8 threadless headset & unknown stem (120mm): AlexRim 390 on back to Formula fix/free hub with 16T Fixed Surly Cog & unknown 16T freewheel (never flopped it to SS). Front is Mavic Cosmo (need to match wheels). Trans-X bullhorns 44cm, Kalin seatpost with Velo Plush seat, held by salsa liplock. FSA Vero cranks with Pyramid platform/SPDs. Tektro 4.1 lever (black "matching" brake on the way). Blue KMZ Chain.

Headed to LBS this weekend to cut fork & get the spacers on there.

Not sure what I want for wheels. Maybe some black Deep Vs with Orange formula hubs. Waiting on some Orange Origin8 track pedals, blue MKS toeclips & straps.

Currently running 39/16, but have 42 & 44 chainring on way ... don't know what gearing I want/need...once I figure out, will likely get Blue ANO Messenger chainring.

Thoughts? Suggestions? Complaints? It's my first "from scratch" fixed gear project & haven't completed yet. Looking forward to getting a ride in, but it's 18 degrees with a fresh inch of snow today ... ugh.
