I would like a closer look.

Cheap System EX hubs does look the part when I was building the Holdsworth, especially with the cutout (85% of the bike is build with modern part);

Velo Orange, they're perfect for a classic build.

freshtripe used to stock a fully build system ex/velo orange wheelset for £135 (same one as pictured).

Squabs likes to remind us every so often.

I thought it best to stop lurking on this Thread and post up some images of my current project.

Still waiting on a Rim to build up the Rear Fixed Wheel. Brake is pinched off my De Ver run around. Pedals off my MTB, but I had to get the thing rideable to get a feel for the sizing. I was concerned about the TT length, but it’s feeling pretty comfy.

The Open 4cd x DA is off the Roberts. The Spinergy was an impulse buy from Bobob with this frame in mind. I’d attempted to sell it recently, but couldn’t do it…strange!
I'm thinking a Black Skeleton brake eventually. Got some RX-1 pedals and clips coming soon and I guess black Sug’s might be more suited down the line.
I finally got a 3.5mm Alan Key (bloody campag) yesterday so fitted one of the Black Deltas, just because….

So, basically it’s a bit of a mix of make do’s, but shaping up nicely IMO

Looking good Mr B! The saddle goes well with the setup and I already miss that wheel :-)

Ed, take out your marshall card, you're not impressing anyone!

That marshall card is impressing my panties off.

That doesn't take much, or so I've heard.

I rode this bike during the tweed run, I keep the marshall card on it as a reminder of the ride.

I got a twig stuck in my spokes on a ride once. I took it out.

I know what you mean. I put it up for sale, stupidly convincing myself that i should stick with a standard wheel. A moment of weakness, i'm glad i didn't. It wont be leaving for some time yet, It has a hold on me now.

I feel like it was handed to me by BoBoB Baggins!!

every time i put it on i turn invisible*
