Probably nothing too crazy but yeah I'm gonna figure out a nice color combo. I love that basically every bike is unique. Looking forward to crushing the crappy Houston streets plus the gravel/dirt all in one ride with one bike.

Not pretty, but used. Taken after a quick blast around my local 10 mile loop of country lanes, including a short section of unmade road in each direction. I cleaned it only last week.

First ride on my Taylor track frame, set up 48/16 with a White freewheel. Built it up with conventional components to see what this frame is like to ride before I go and sink $$ in wheels and other light stuff I can't afford but want.
This was after 65 miles on the bike , I really like this bike and will be playing with finding some nice stuff to finish it off right. The frame has a nice lively feel , like most nice steel frames do. Not a rattle or a hitch at all riding it, from rack to road, I love it!

My 2009 Waterford 22 Series Competition Track. I just swapped out the Phil Woods/Isidis tubular rims/Vittoria blackwall tires for a set of newly built Velo Orange/H Son Plus TB14 clincher rims/Michelin tan wall tires. I wanted more bling for the rims and tires. I bought the bike off EBay a few years ago and it came with tubulars. I plan to swap both sets of wheels occasionally.
I put a a 20t White Industries Eno freewheel on one side and have an 18t Shimano freewheel on the flip side. The White Industries is loud and the Shimano is almost silent. With a 49t chainring I can ride at either 65” or 72”.

The WI freewheel is going to be nice and loud as it has more engagement points and is so nice. You should try the trials version it is even noisier (in a good way). Shimano is a fine disposable freewheel so it won't be quite so engagement heavy so less noise but will still do the jerb.
Cool bike though. I love a good Waterford and that is a good Waterford (granted I haven't really seen a Waterford I don't like but you did it right)

veganbikes, you are correct about the Phil Woods. I just polished them recently. They have plenty of bling. I plan to ride both set of wheels. I may end up with yet another set of wheels for my Waterford in the future......
The Phil Woods Hubs polish up nicely!
This is my Waterford with the Phil Woods and Isidis dark grey anodized tubular rims.

I got this bike a decade ago. Have put about 2000miles only. (am using my road bikes most of the time). It was originally set up as light trail and commuter bike, single speed & geared +belt drive.
Now, it's more like a gravel'sh bike. 😊

Maybe you need to look at this one in Gainesville Fl
Well I was going to post a link to an "1960s/70s unknown split tube Italian bike" on the Gainesville Fl Facebook market place but I can't seem to get it to work.
It is a single speed vintage split tube with incredible lug work and very good condition. $350
Gainesville fl is a hipster bike town, it's where I found my Wabi, this split tube is worth a look
