We came across this classic Trek frame a while back... It needed lots of new parts to get rolling as a road bike again, but the frame is in fantastic shape, so I decided to make a cool urban fixed-gear out of it.
The frame is a very nice vintage lugged Trek frame, made with double-butted Tange tubing. Almost everything else is new: Brand new rear fixed gear wheel, new cog & lockring, new nickel-plated 1/8" chain. New seatpost and new (slightly scuffed) Selle San Marco Concor saddle. New stem, bars, and front brake. New grips. Like-new Vittoria Zaffiro tires with new velox rim strips and tubes.
The rear-wheel has a flip-flop hub, so you could run it as a coastable single-speed if you really want to. I'd reccomend riding it fixed for maximum fun, though.
We're asking $300... about half the price of most entry-level fixies, with twice the character. It's a 54cm frameset.

Looks Great! I Love the red accents.
Nice job. Any takers yet?
Just put it out today, but I expect it to go quickly.
It came with the red cage, so I thought the red brake cable housing really set it off.
I want that, bad.
