Did someone say poor people riding fixed? Finally, a place to call my home:
1987 Schwinn Le Tour that was beat up when I bought it from a craigslist schlup for $50. New wheels/tires/tubes/tape/scrodawesumcog/lockring and we are in business. 47x18. total is a bit over $110 including purchase price.
I made sure to keep all of the original parts and I have no plans to cut/grind/mutilate this wonderful chicago schwinn~
