Re: the levers.
Every fixed gear bike I've had over the last few years has had gb or weinmann levers, I just remove all the lever gubbins leaving just the body. Have been informed this was the legit way things were done by hill climb guys back in the day.
Please excuse the crappy pic. And yup I need to retape my bars.

The forum gods have spoken! :)
I have a pair of panaracers sat here that, with a clean, would do the job. Might stick with this wheelset for the time being then pounce on some silver rims to match my spare Carlton flipflop set.
@scilly.suffolk Agree re the levers, but wouldn't it look odd with a single/or one as a dummy? Presumably the old path racers ran with front and rear brakes, while track didn't have any (!), hence didn't avoiding this problem. Will PM you tomorrow re the levers...
@FredyCro thanks for the headsup, will check out Pat's thread.
Thanks all! Do keep the views coming... Veering towards full period build when the right kit comes up at the mo though...
