'86 Bridgestone 400 - Save or Shave?
Howdy all,
I recently got a 27" Bridgestone 400 frame & fork (I beleive its an '86 - I think 85 & 86 was when they carried the 400 in 27" size in space violet) with the intention of making it a fixed gear (a freakishly tall fixed gear).
Would it be an affront to cycling if I was to shave off the deraileur hanger, shifter bosses etc. and refinish it?
Just wondering...
Dave
