Lets see your fixie

Don't think this has been brought up before, but I always like to see people's take on the fixed gear bicycle. Currently the only bike I'm riding is my old giant ocr2 converted fixie with an eno hub and the widest riser bars I could find.
Bring on the pics!!

Here ya go. This is from like a month ago, but since, I've put an eno crank on it, got rid of the freewheel, and got rid of the brakes. Will update with a more recent pic shortly.

Keep em coming, that DeSalvo looks very fun. I always admired their work.

Nice! Thanks Melac pal.

Long time ago, I experimented once with converting one of my lugged steel frames. I didn't know what I was doing. It rides OK, kinda fun. After about maybe six months, I restored it back to normal, haven't tried another conversion or a fixie since, maybe I should... Still have that frame, and the gold chain, they are just sitting around in the parts bin, don't have the wheel anymore tho.
