Hey here's my first attempt at a fixed gear bike.
It's a bit of a beater I suppose, as it's not the best frame in the world, but I'm fairly proud of it, now it's almost complete.
Spec at the moment is as follows...
23" Raleigh originated frame,
Maillard hubs,
Cheapo Rigida 700c steel rims,
Stronglight 48T chainring + crank,
16T sprocket,
Unica plastic saddle,
Weinman caliper,
GB chopped and flopped bars,
GB Brake lever,
Fuji pedals,
3TT quill stem,
Basically a budget build.
Just awaiting a 2 finger brake lever in the post, then I can finish wrapping the bar tape, add some toe clips, and straps and off I go, until I start updating all the components that is!

Planned mods are...
replacement frame
27" Airlight/mavic wheels, which I'm refurbishing at present.
Better dual pivot brake caliper.
