Here's my third fixed gear. Called 'the Ananas' after my brother aptly recognised the similarity of the colour scheme to that of a pineapple. It's a 1980s Raleigh Reynolds 531 racing frame with the braze-ons taken off and re-sprayed forest green with yellow lug lining. Apart from the Velocity rimmed wheelset, the San Marco Rolls seat, MKS pedals and the Goldfinger brake lever most other components are second hand or NOS. Got Campagnolo Record bottom bracket and chainset (originally a double chainset until I hacksawed off the 'lips' on the back of the drive side crank so that it doesn't hit the frame). Other major bits and bobs are Campy seat post, Surly sprocket and Shimano 105 front brake.

Looks great! I love the dark green with yellow combo, it's somehow eye-popping and understated at the same time.

Out of curiosity, where did you get your rims? I got a good deal on ebay for my deep-v's with formula hubs, wondered if you got the same.
