Funny seeing this resurrected. Here's my Raleigh Record, bought the frame and fork bare and ugly. Stripped the frame and painted it with some left over automotive blue and titanium paint; I really like the color combo. It's built it up with cheap fixed gear parts. I wanted some polished rims so I bought some painted Weinmann DP-18 rims and stripped/polished them. Never again..that was too much work.
