Just joined the forum - although I'm from Cambridge, I do seem to spend far too much time browsing this site...
Built up my first fixed gear bike last holiday (still a student...). Frame is an old Elswick Lincoln Imp - the same as Sheldon Brown (RIP) had I believe. Wheels were my first attempt at wheelbuilding but they seem to be holding up fine so far. Haven't broken-in that saddle yet either.

(Is there much going on in Cambridge? Seen a few fixed bikes out and about but not that many - or maybe it's just the crap weather!)
JOHN! I have a lincoln imp too
I am, alas, living in london so our imps will never cross paths, although its great to hear about another imp still being ridden.
I'm still cleaning mine up and stuff, but i may have some pictures up in a week or two, but my frame looks identical to yours apart from it has a light blue detail, not yellow
and also, did you get it re-painted? (if so where/how much etc.)
