Here’s my latest build, from a no-name set of components I went for a really retro old-school fixie I’ve decided to call ‘Jeeves’, simply as it looks like it could feature on the filmset of a P.G Wodehouse novel.
Beyond the no-name components, it has some MKS pedals, a Charge Ladle saddle (deliberately aged with some wet&dry to make it look old and weathered), some Nitto moustache bars, Brooks bar tape, a simple Dia Compe brake lever and Cheng Shin Tires 700 x 28, nylon, branded CST Super HP – sold in the West under the Maxxis brand.. and a lovely Japanese brass bell with a ding loud enough to frighten pedestrians to death from a long way away

Another favorite of mine that is safe and sound in my bookmarks.
It might be the black bike and leather that catches my eye or the quality components.
Thank you for sharing this.

That crank definitely does not look unnamed. Starts with a C I’m thinking. Classy looking whip.

a very well done, classy build. really liking the spoke patterns, the silver deep v’s with whitewall tires, the mustache bars are great…the bell…the aging on the saddle….all very nice.
well done!

Great looking bike. I could be wrong but the frame looks a lot like a Schwinn cutter and the headset and stem are almost definitely from a Madison. I don’t know what the fork is.
