Not fixed or single but some nice rides, or will be.
The TVT is one of the last models with an intergrated headtube, i picked it up in a German bike jumble.

And the Vitus 979 I thought was an ebay bargain but the grub screw for the seat post was screwed. I've drilled out the hole and filled it with an aerospace aluminuim putty which is drilled and tapped after hardening. Fingers crossed it works. I'm looking to turn it into a Peugeot Carbon replica, so I'm getting the three main tubes painted matt black.

I'm slowly collecting old school Mavic stuff ready for the build. Right now I need a Mavic 630 chainset if anyone has one?
I'll post more pix as the build goes.
