I just finished up this new fixed-gear, based on Origin8’s Del Pasado track frame. The Del Pasado is a true urban / street frame, built of sturdy chromo-steel and with comparatively relaxed geometry (not much toe overlap) and mounting points for racks and fenders. The front wheel is an Aerospoke and the rear is a Velocity Deep-V with an IRO fix/fix hub. The crankset is a Suntour that I polished up, with matching Origin8 track pedals and Soma double-gate toe clips. Race face stem, Tektro front brake & cross lever, and a Vitesse saddle.
I took the Del Pasado for a spin last night and it is a very easy rider; the geometry gives you a stable base and the thick chainstays deliver a smooth ride on rough streets. With a set of riser bars, this would also make a good trick rider. The Del Pasado frame is one of the best deals around right now (selling on eBay for around $180 for the frame & fork, with shipping) and I think my build shows that you can make a pretty sweet bike out of it.

Nice bike! Just wanted to ask about the condition of the front wheel? Had break pad worn the surface of it?
Thanks in advance for your reply.
no, there’s no brake pad wear on the wheel. I rode the bike brakeless. I added the brake when I decided to sell it.
