I owned a pair of pink satin loon pants when I was 19. They were exceedingly tight and I wore them with a pair of 3 inch platform-heeled boots (clearly feeling that 6' 1" wasn't tall enough)!
I thought that I looked really cool until I was verbally set upon by the drunken members of a hen party. Several of the remarks were really quite hurtful, but the one that really stunned me was when one woman cackled "Hey look girls, you can really see the shape of his c*ck!" I fled to the Gents to check in the mirror, and flipping heck, you really could!(Why had I never noticed that back at home? Oh, the foolishness of youth!)
Pink satin loon pants bonfire the next morning!
Photograph or it didn't happen! Fig leaf may be required on this one please ;-)

I think that there was one photo, but I made sure that it was destroyed!
I can reveal the rest of the 70s look though ... (I was going through my Ian Gillan phase!)

Well, who's gonna recognise me from that!
I have to say Colin you are very brave to post that pic.
PS Interesting eye alignment there ... Perhaps I was under the influence, of, er, something!

colly , you were not brave enough for pink then
No I played safe. Thinking about it though a salmon pink would have been pretty good. Maybe the next one???
As you can see it's not quite 'vanilla' just a bit of pimping :

Looking good!
(And I've just discovered that I can use the scroller wheel on my mouse to scroll through lists of photos!)

does look good
The project has been on the back burner for a week or two for various reasons but I am thinking of such things as chainsets , stems and bars.I saw this:
http://www.planet-x-bikes.co.uk/i/q/CSOOTC/on_one_external_bearing_track_crankset
and although it isn't the lightest out there it looks ok ( I like the polished one) and also comes with the bb. For those who know about these things what do you think? What else might you recommend?

I don't know about these things, but I think it looks nice!

A few things to think about:
1. Do you want 1/8" or 3/32" (there will be a much larger choice of components with 3/32")
2. Will you be able to get the gear inches you want with 48T (maybe it will work out quite expensive if you have to immediately buy another chainring)
3. I think square taper is more aesthetically pleasing, especially for track, fixed and single-speed, but maybe that's just me.
A few other places you could look:
