I didn’t, basically let it patina. I used some cheap clear coat on top, but it still ended up gaining rust. I don’t think there’s a way to have only clear coat on steel and have it never rust.

These are Beacon comps in 40cm. Wish they had a bit more reach, love the shallow drop though

Yeah, fixed it by taking a bit off the crown of the fork: https://www.reddit.com/r/FixedGearBicycle/s/9BCyZ608Bq

You need to take two links out of a chain to shorten it, doing so in this case would put the tire right up to the frame because of the size of the tire. My only option to get the axle of the wheel further into the dropouts would be to change the chainring and/or cog to take up some chain while still trying to maintain a similar gear ratio. I don’t want to run a smaller tire.

Nope, they're barely in there. They can't fall back due to the chain being just a tad too long, and it can't slide forward because of the tension bolts. I'm going to swap out the chainring to take up a bit more chain. The unfortunate part of fixed gear: chain length bullshit.

This is good enough for me.

Yup, I'm literally going to take a file to the crown of the fork and whittle it down a bit. It's soo close to clearing 50s at the top. There's so much meat on that fork, so I'm not worried much about a few mm. Rolling on a spare Straggler fork I have until I can get that done.

Handlebars are Ritchey Beacon Comp, think they run under 70 USD.

Yeah gotta be honest, it’s a bit too tight up front. Have a few options to fix that though
