Thanks, sorry for the bad quality picture. Will take a better one when the build is complete, also I'm still looking for a black/silver crankset (Around £25 and 46-49t) to go with this build; if anyone has one or knows someone who is selling please let me know. -

Additional Info: The frame with the bars, headset, BB, stem and goldfinger lever weighed in at a surprising 2.6 kg.

Update - Bought a pair of Vittoria Zaffiros; cheap but gets the job done from Decathlon for £15.98. Only a silver/black crankset needed to finish the build.

Update Fitted the tyres onto the wheels. Only a crankset + pedals + chain needed to finish the project. Weighed the bike as it is with the components, came up to a surprising 7.6kg.

Thanks, now i just have to find a beater rear wheel to be sprayed black because atm the purple rear looks a bit out of place. (And my brother won't allow me to spray the rear wheel :( ) -

^ Obanksy (My brother) hooked me up with a no name crankset that work pretty well and a mediocre chain. Will post pics of it outside tomorrow; hopefully it is sunny tomorrow. I am looking for a single speed/track chain 1/8th to replace the abomination i have on atm.

Nice, what grips are they?
Makes me want to go back to risers but I just cant find a good looking enough brake lever.

Thanks a lot! I'll take one when the Izumi chain has been put on. The chain on does not deserve to be seen.
On Saturday I met Chokalateboywonder (Who got it from Jantrit who got it from sukidayo2) to pick up this yellow "Cinelli" CR-MO 4130 track frame for £35 and a used Xbox 360.
This is the start my first fixed project and I aim to finish this bike within two weeks, the components of this bike will be very basic and cheap due to the nature of the use of the bike.
I am going for all black components;
black seatpost,
black used BLB fly saddle,
black deep v front wheel with silver braking surface
purple aero track rear wheel that will be sprayed black.
This was sukidayo2's build of it, a year ago: http://static.lfgss.com/attachments/60926d1353398952-img_2403.jpg
And this is how it looks right now (Sorry for the instagramming): http://distilleryimage11.s3.amazonaws.com/1c20eeb2f23711e2aa4422000ae90e71_7.jpg
