I've finally completed another bicycle rebuilding project! The frame, fork, and seatpost are from an older Puch meteor bike that I got for $7.50 off a craigslist guy in Staunton (original pictured below). I scrapped almost everything, paintined it all white, and turned it into a fixie.
Parts List:
Eighthinch Amelia wheelset with flipflop hub and 16T cog
Eighthinch Crankset with 44T chainring, white
Clark's cable housing kit
Vintage handlebars and dual-position brake levers
XLC Alloy Dual sided (platform and SPD) clipless pedals
Origin 8 Red road saddle
I've already made some modifications after this picture was made. I've switched the 23c tires that came with the Amelia wheelset for some Vittoria Radonneur Cross tires to favor more urban riding. I've also added a red Origin8 42T chainring behind the white chainring (so now I'm at 42x16 teeth).
Now if only someone can teach me how to do a bike stand and a skid stop...
