I commuted on this today and yesterday. It's a 1975 Viscount ten-speed, converted to fixie. A few years ago, I built it up with an S3X 3-speed fixed gear hub. It was fun but it was not great, so I passed the hub on. Now the bike weighs only around 22 lbs. It's my cheapo beater bike, and I like it. There is a bell on the handlebar end.
