2014 Post Your SS or FG megathread!

Hi, I'm new here. Just want to find more places where I can share my passion for fixedgear/track bikes.
Anyway, here are a couple bikes which I've just finished putting together for myself.
Ravanello Track Pursuit

Corima Cougar Pursuit 700/650c

Not sure what's the standard here, but any feedbacks are appreciated.
The Corima isn't quite finished yet, still missing a rear Corima disc.

Been a long time lurker. Finally picked up my first single speed/fixed.
Pake Tange CR-MO

I've replaced a few worn out parts (wheels, saddle, and bar tape).
Pedals are next on the list. What do you guys think would be a fitting set? I was thinking about the fyxation gates slim pedal strap kit.

Corima Cougar was widely available till it was replaced by the now called Corima V.I.F Carbon Frames. But, this 700/650c, just like all other funny bike/pursuit frames, it's less common. That's why when I had the opportunity to get it, I did not hesitate.
I mostly go for pursuit frames as I like their aggressive look, I have a few more, I'll post them up here soon.
Thanks for all your kind words!

Ahh--yeah... newbie here. Please bear with me =/ lol.
I'll level out the saddle and adjust the dropbars angle.
Was thinking about moving 1-2 of the spacers above the stem too... or maybe flip the stem? or is that not recommended?
Thanks for your guys' comments.

Every time I think I'm over these someone comes along and posts another one. Then the urges start up and I start thinking about my bank balances and parts list…
(Also, you may want a cable and a lever of some kind for the brake if you want it to do more than ruin your aesthetics
