My 1980's Trek 412 (or 414). Shimano 600 crank. Finishing up sanding the frame...getting ready for paint. Right now it has a 700c rear wheel and a 27" front wheel. That will change as soon as I get another 700c tire (bike isn't being ridden right now cuz of all the whitestuff outside!).
What a blast building this thing. I think I'm hooked on fixies - I am already looking for another frame to build up!
I apologize for the poor lighting...I'll retake the picture tomorrow!

the geometry is a little funny though
it feels loose when i'm up on the bars, but as soon as I drop into the bullhorns it tightens right up and handles like a dream.

My 1988(?) Cannondale Criterium converted to single-speed. It's not much, but I like it anyway. Aluminum frame, steel fork, two brakes because it's hard to ride it slow and I usually have to dodge a lot of students on campus. I want to switch the quill stem out and get something that rides a little lower because the one currently on it is a bit high for me.
