I put some pics up of this a couple of weeks ago. I've now finished the build and have got it "just right" - just got back from a 17 mile breakfast ride and it's awesome now everything is dialled.

Pics here: http://flic.kr/p/ar9EW5

Spec:
Giant Two to One SS frameset
Surly fixed rear hub on Mavic 717 rim courtesy of Sideways Tim
Thomson stem, no-name bars, X-Lite seatpost, Flite saddle
Avid Elixir 3 front brake
Fox 32 F120RL forks
XT cranks/BB, 32t ring - running 14T fixed sprocket at the rear - it's high but, TBH, the fixed gear gives it a lot of added momentum so not been a problem so far and rolls well on the flat ๐Ÿ™‚

What it lacks in gears and brakes it makes up for in lightweight and nimble ride - brilliant!

Looks great, I have a swift frame I wish I could use for fixed. I'm now contemplating selling/swapping it.
