After riding a 'town bike' for a while I've been craving a lighter bike. Initially I was thinking about a single-speed, but after riding my friend's fixie I absolutely loved it. So started to ask people about frames and look around. I found a Reynolds 531 on eBay for £60 so bought it and stripped it down - apart from the bottom bracket that the nice folks at Tokyo Fixed did for me with the appropriate tool. I got some advice from a guy at work about removing the braze-ons and then sanded the frame smooth. I also took the rear derailleur hanger off too.
So now it's in the paint shop and should be finished tomorrow. Will post pics of its new colour!
