Some of Mark, and a lot of Peter Johnson, etc. I dictated the style points I wanted pretty heavily, but Chris' interpretation was right on the money. It came out pretty much exactly how I had it in my head (better in some spots).
That and some other unfinished projects. Bikes have to pay for bikes around here.

Here's my '85 Fuji Del Rey that I picked up off Craigslist for $120 bucks....
My latest replacements/additions
Forte Softtail road/touring seat from LBS.
Transit (large size) saddlebag, from LBS.
From the college kid, I bought the bike from:
New Kenda 27" tires installed this past spring by an LBS.
New brake pads, front & rear, also this past spring at LBS.
( '85 Fuji Del Rey, tuned up, lubed, etc... also this past spring at LBS.)
Also, seen on the picnic bench in the background... Original (?) stock Fuji seat, all compressed down and flat as a dime. Can we say "Ouch"?
To the right of that, is my old Bell bicycle helmet. It's seen better days, but it is still in great condition.
I have to figure out a "Name" for my Fuji Del Rey... I mean, she's classic and "old school" and at a 25" frame, she weights a bloody ton!

My Real Steel Update: Spring '15
I managed to actually sell off a few frames since my last post to this thread, the two Stouts and the Waterford 1200 have found new homes. I did not quite manage n-1, not even n-0. But I did wind up with a few new-to-me steeds that will likely get ridden more.
I haven't managed to snag an Ellis yet (vonRUUUUUUUDENNNNN!!!!), but I did find "DW" stamped under the bb shell on this 2001 Waterford RS-11---so Dave Wages built it when he was at Waterford. At least I've got something his torch touched. Recently went STI on it, but haven't had the chance to photograph the newer build. The frame spent most of its life in Japan---the original owner was stationed there.
This '77 Paramount P-15 also followed me home, it is supposedly one of the few singles built that year with factory-brazed canti mounts.
I fendered the Kirk Terraplane...
Sorted out the Boulder Allroad; 5 points for the first one to identify the front light bracket...
Finally got a fork from Chris Kelly for my Bonestock, and de-converted it from fixed to geared. I'll be switching to a Kelly stem sometime soon.
And I don't think I posted the Zanc in this thread yet. Recently switched to Paul Minimoto calipers and a Salsa stem, after these pix. Looks a little gnarlier now.

@pcb, what a fantastic assortment of steel! I especially love seeing those Kirk Terraplanes.
p.s. Have you ever considered going clipless?

Thanks! You like looking at my Zanc just like I love gawking at your multiple Kvales...
And a big ol' NOPE! on the light bracket. Well, more like a not quite. The actual mount is a Paul Gino, but I'm asking about the bracket connecting the Paul Gino to the rack. I'll give you 2.5pts since I wasn't specific enough and you were partially correct.

There's just so many great steel frames out there in the wild. Ancient, old, recent, new.
I rode nothing but clipless since I first tried Cinelli M71 Death Pedals in '81, for about 20yrs. M71, Look, Time, Shimano, Speedplay. Then I started riding C&V again, with clips/straps. Then I tried spikey platform pedals, and now that's all I ride. Maybe I should chime in on that thread...
