Hey all!
I'm kinda new here, been lurking around for a while but haven't posted anything yet..
This is my Peugeot project so far, need to fix up a couple of things like a front brake and new seat.
Weinmann LP18 rims, Formula hubs, crankset from the ALTA bike, the rest is mostly original. Those old brakes are off now btw..^^

Welcome Vector. Is that your first fixed project?
Thanks! =)
Yes, this is the first one! I found out about the whole fixed gear-scene last summer, but haven't gotten around to starting a build before March this year.
It has been so much fun that I'm considering starting on a new project in the summer! -

It has been so much fun that I'm considering starting on a new project in the summer!That's normal, once you get the bug it's hard to stop. I've two projects on the go, having just finished another two, and am thinking about what to do after I've done those!
If you're in London you should come along to one of the many social events and get to meet a few like minded people. It's a great source of knowledge and inspiration. And you get a beer or two too. What's not to like!

what's not to like....don't get me started....
going to be refurbishing my old blue colnago C96 this summer; i'm thinking a nice bit of vinyl for the frame, just to make some of the regulars POC and some trade price nitto components... -

Haha, I see! I want to try to build a fixie offroader, just 'cause some of them look stunning when they're "cleaned up" of the gears and such.
Ah, I forgot to mention that I live in Norway, so it'll be a long ride to you guys. But I might be in London some time during the summer, so if I'm lucky (and have my bike with me) I can tag along!
There's no scene here yet actually, we have two forums but nothing this size here! It's a slightly closed community cause fixies are only starting to become a "trend" here, so almost noone knows what it is. I've seen several bike companys making OTP fixies now, so maybe they'll show up on the norwegian market as well and people will get interested! -
Started a project for a track bike some months ago.
My current Giant is too small and a need something that fits better.
The Giant is a mixture of "modern" (Giant F&F, seatpost, wheels, pedals, stem, saddle) and classic parts (cranks, bars, ...). Besides that, I have some old parts laying around for decaded.
Since classic track parts are still very competitive, don't wear out quickly and weight is not so much of an issue, I decided to go for a nice classic track bike.
Buying a new track frame or bike would be too easy and less fun. I hope to end up with something really nice. At the good part: the value will only increase during the years.I collected already several parts, besides the stuff I already had.
Still no idea what frame I will use. For sure it must be nice. Can be Italian, but also Dutch or English (Raleigh) is possible. As long as the sizes are correct.At the moment, I seriously consider this frame, but I need to negotiate about the price.
Project can be followed here:

this thread just gets better and better
dave531531, your Aende lo pro is lovely. wouldn't change thing
alex, your Cooper is special. still find that chainring intimidating. btw, didn't pop into Cavendish for a chainring in the end has picked up a Dura Ace one for a tenner on the bay.
mr smith, sweet. i know you are going to build that beautifully
tika - wow, well done. love the wheels.
cohen, that frame looks pretty lush too.
scott, wow, from no to two lo-pros just like that. love that merckx too. -
YES !!!
I've just closed the deal with Italy. I will buy the frame:
Frame Alan 57x57, fork Alan, headset Campagnolo Pista, seatpost Campagnolo 25.0mm pantographed Alan (?), chain.
Believe me, it's a good deal :-)Some cleaning and polishing to be done,
new decals,
see if I can paint the Roll's black again,
new chain,
search for BB-set 36x24T, 70-S-20,
and Campy Pista pedals,
and another Vittoria Corsa CX tubular,
and some minor things to be done.
Then it's DONE and I can ride it on the Velodrome!It is a ALAN super record pista
