It's the Bontrager Satellite Elite. It's the same fork as on the LeMond Poprad Disc and Trek Portland. If you have specific shots you want let me know and I can take them when I have something better than a camera phone on me.

I've been cruising this forum awhile. So I thought I'd post my conversion. It's for bar runs and what not. Laters.

solid conversion, but sorry, all that's going through my head right now is "the best ever death metal band out of denton"...
but the bike. might want to adjust the saddle angle a little, it looks like it could be painful in the long run.

The winter bike that I just finished piecing together. I'm really excited to start riding it because this is my 1st full conversion road bike to fixie conversion. Put the granny gear on there to keep me warm and get better with spinning. Just need to find a long enough brake. edit: just found out I had a front fender and a brake that is big enough for it. just need to get a brake lever and I'm done

Tektro makes an extra long reach brake that ought to do it (but measure first). Does the frame take a nutted or recessed brake bolt?
EDIT: and that bike is screaming for full fender.

Gyeswho - the trick I used when doing pretty much the same thing you're doing was to find an old BMX sidepull brake, those things have crazy reach.

Totally not SS/FG, but if I were building it up for myself (and were a LOT smaller) I would have to convert it for sure...
I think I'm in love with tubulars.
oh btw I built this for my girlfriend's dad for christmas.

That is a very nice bike, making it a conversion would be a pity. Your girlfriend's dad is a lucky guy.

I agree that converting this to fixed would be a shame. It's beautiful as it is.
