The painted Zipp2001 was my 12/24 hour and Brevet bike and a daily ride for almost 10 years. It was set up with aero bars and had gears, I switched it to a single speed over a year ago. The belt drive system is very smooth and transfers the power better than the chain drive. I've been on these Zipp's since 1993 and they ride great for me.

Getting close to wrapping up this one. Early 70s Gitane Mexico. This will be the only single speed fixed gear in the fixed gear herd.
The rest of the herd.
The Tetanus Express. 1964-ish Dunelt Sport. 559 wheels and a 2 speed AW fixed hub. Commuted for years on this and ran more than a few Alley Cats in my fifties with it. Usually had my ass handed to me but it was fun.
The Anglo American. Early 50s Robin Hood frame, fixed 2 speed Bendix hub, Fulger drum brake up front, 700 rims. Double ugly stem makes it comfortable for an old fart pushing 70.
The Phoenix. 1973 Super Course frame with a 3 speed FW fixed hub.
It's called the Phoenix because it was built up from the salvaged parts of this Mercier Velox,
after it ended up looking like this.

Steel is real
Something I knocked up, still need to stick the headtube badge back on.
Found a aluminium fork that would fit the old headtube

Please show a drive side photo, so that we can see the crank spider and chainring. That's definitely a cool old lugged frameset.

Just about wound up on the Gitane.
I'm waiting for a warm and sunny day to wrap the bars. Just like to do the job outdoors.
