Here she is. Finally. After spending a few yrs as my 'cross frankenbike, I have finally converted my 83ish Gitane Gran Sport into a fixie since I've upgraded 'cross bikes to a newer more modern bike. Here are the details;
83? Gitane Gran Sport frame/fork, purchased on e-bay for $5!
Nervar cranks (oem) 42 t
CLB brake calipers (oem)
Mavic CXP 21 36h rims
Normandy Hi-flange f hub
Diamond rear hub, sealed cartridge, sweet looking :D
Surly 17h cog/locknut
Selle Italia Pro-link saddle
3t morph road bars
Generic Japanese stem
Wellgo spd type pedals
Shimano R600 brake levers
Slime Skid-marks 700x28 tires. (Hey, they were cheap, faiurly light, and I like gum-walls on older bikes plus I like fat tires on my fixies)

As seen, 23 lbs. Not super light, but rides really nice.
Bomb-proof wheels.
