I'll do more pictures soon.
I had a pompino for a year and I really enjoyed it. Hence the current project, this time lighter and more road-ready. There is a common misconception about fixed though, lots of people thinks is suitable only for flat rides. I find it nicer on hilly rides. It's also less boring because your cadence is not the same during all the ride -
i did 1500km in 10 days (germany -> france -> spain) with 45/17 some years go, felt good

Nice bike, more pictures please!
I've been thinking about your long-distances-on-fixed-gear project lately as I've been doing some myself on my daily commuter (up to 250km, 300 next month). 44x17, generally fine but I have been choosing my rides to avoid any crazy steep bits. It's loads of fun, and now I want a fixed gear that's better suited for long distances (mainly, bigger size, with clearance for bigger tyres, and mudguards mounts too).
