My first full fixed gear build. I shaved the cable guides and derailleur hanger and filled and smoothed the frame and had it powdercoated lime green. I also had the calipers (DiaCompe), crankarms, stem and handlebars powdercoated white. I only have brakes on because it's also a single speed with a Shimano freewheel (they may eventually come off). Also, it's a work in progress, I'm not crazy about the look of the Brooks so I'll be trying other saddles. I do like the look of the pink chain and the Dimension Big Cheese Stars Pink Grips, however the black headset, pedals and brake levers will have a color change soon.
