Hello,
I joined LFGSS a couple of years ago but never actually got round to posting... I'm about to embark on a single-speed build and will need to get out of the sandbox to start buying goodies from the classifieds - this seems to be as good a place as any to start.
So, current bikes - with apologies for bobbins pics :
This is an unidentified 80s Legnano frame, SLX tubing, built up with mostly Campagnolo Super Record bits. I'm doing the Way Of The Roses on it this coming weekend :-/

This is the family heirloom, an original Raleigh Campagnolo Gran Sport, bought my cousin Brian in the long-gone Grimstead Bicycles in Romford back in 1982 or thereabouts and loving maintained by him for nearly three decades. I coveted this bike for many years and Brian finally gave it to me when his knees packed in a couple of years ago. Frame's too big for me, really, but it's a keeper. Even though I did slightly fall off it last Summer. (Sorry, Brian).

This is the single speed project, another Columbus frame with exactly the same geometry as the Legnano. No idea what it is - the only clue is a Cinelli "spoiler" BB shell - but it's been powder coated white and I'm planning to build it up with drops, fluted cranks and silver rims as a classic-styled street sleeper / commuter.

This one's got an engine. Probably off-topic, sorry about that. It is quite handy, though.

I hate doing this, but to get into the spirit of the place, this is me (the one without the hat, natch) :
