Surly Steamroller in 'cream', silver Halo track wheels (black spokes), chrome bars/stem, minimal front braking, some tan leather/faux leather bits, some goldy lookin' bits...

Thanks to Charlie The Bikemonger. It's come up quite nice 😉
that looks very nice, soon as i can find a reasonable priced fixie rear i've got a donor frame lined up.
Thats lovely, gold bits aplenty and matching brown 😛
What handlebars are they?
Nice fixie**** bike
What handlebars are they?
Token track bars. With matching stem.
oh your sick 🙄
Nice build. I didn't find the radial laced front Halo wheel all that stiff - see how you get on with it. Great hubs though those Token jobbies, very tough.
Very fine and purty! And great for that 1 mile commute, eh? 😉
Liking those colours!
If I were you I'd zip tie those toe straps to the pedal cages though, or the axles will eat them!
Nice looking bike but if I were you I would swap to a slightly narrower BB. Then you could move the chain ring to the outside of the crank spider where it would look much better!!
I'm a bit of a sad perfectionist!
BB
oh your sick
That's what yer mum said
And great for that 1 mile commute, eh?
LOL! It's not even a mile... I basically live at the top of a 1:6 hill and work at the bottom:

It takes longer to get a bike out of the shed and negotiate it through the house than it does to ride it to work!
I still do it, though 🙂
But not when it's raining I'll wager, (not on that bike at least)
Nice. Some Berthoud mudguards would make it a bit more practical, alhough I'm guessing that's not the point. 🙂
Hi Mr A,
Practical? Who said owt about being practical?! It's the least practical bike in my arsenal 😉
This is a special birthday-present-to-self to take away (some of) the pain of reaching that certain age at which life is supposed to begin...
I'm racing 'Cross in the Vets category next season 🙁
Cool. Where did the seat post come from as I'm after a 27.2 silver post.
Nice one Chas. 🙂

It would seem they are indeed quite hard to come by, especially affordable ones. Best I could do was the Charge Chopstick. Not exactly a chrome finish, but very shiny silver:

I have friend who used a similar colour scheme with brown leather tape and saddle.
Nice!
very nice.
As for 27.3mm silver posts, i got two, one of them being spare 😉
Nice build! Always good to see a steamroller thats not in maroon!
Nice build.
I wish people wouldn't use the term "fixie".
Fixed!
Eeeh, I remember when "gay" meant "fun and carefree"...
