Hi not a frequent visitor here, but you seem a friendly lot.
This is mine for commuting across Essex and riding around the lanes.

hey roadrunner how did you find getting your chainline right currently converting a similar mtb! dont see many let alone get to ask someone whos converted one!!My single speed was a bit of a winter project. I got a free bike for taking delivery and building a friend's bike, his old bike. Good timing as well as my road bike's frame is going to Bob Jackson Cycles for a respray. Anyhoo its hardly top spec but with 5 weeks quoted for the return of my frame and winter almost here it'll make a perfect winter hack.
Before.
After.

A few minor up-grades, 4 months of commuting (plus London to Brighton) and just shy of 700 miles and I love mine. 46t 17 for me which is just over 71 inches

1983 Dawes Windsor converted to 42-17 fixed. Not pretty but gets the job done. It is a little undergeared for weekend rides but about right for slightly lumpy commute
Update: Got my new wheel back from LBS this morning
It's a Halo rear track hub Fixed/Free laced to a Mavic CXP33 rim with DT Swiss double butted spokes (2.0/1.8).
In addition I've added Velox rim tape, a lightweight Vittoria inner tube (80g) and Schwalbe Ultremo ZX tyres (folding)
The whole lot tipped the scales at 1,328g (without any sprockets installed)

The most recent incarnation of my Charge, after a number of months off the road, and many replacement parts (seatpost, clamp, saddle, crank, chain, pedals, grips and a tyre):

This is a lovely thing. It breaks all my rules for a fixed-gear bicycle, but I cannot help liking it a lot. It has naked eggbeaters, which lets it break most of the rules anyway...
My rules?
I've just made them up, but they are as follows:
1. No lime green, particularly on rims.
2. If drops are retained, then standard brake levers (hoods) must be retained.
3. Quill stems only.
4. Two brakes good, One brake bad.
5. Bars shouldn't be set a yard below the saddle. (By 'a yard' I mean as far as the one in the picture is).
6. Bar tape only on drops. Not the novelty grips from a 16" kid's bike.
Thankyou for re-introducing me to oove and hate in the same image.

No, that would be silly!
But I've just made up another one that isn't silly:
7. Any writing should be in the proper place, which is in the middle of the crossbar or downtube.
I do think that bicycle of yours is wonderful, but if you keep provoking me I'll just keep inventing new rules and then the Style Poleece will confiscate it.
I have the power. Rule 8 (which i just invented) tells me I have the power.
