newb from NC
 

Hi all I'm from Wilmington, NC. I ride an old 1984 Panasonic Sport 500 that I converted to a fixed gear about 2 years ago. I've rebuilt this bike almost 5 times now and I think I've finally found the look I always wanted for it.

I have Soma Major Taylors that i cut 4 inches off of the drop downs and turned back in toward the saddle so that they turn down parallel to the forks. I got white Origin 8 grips, a white Origin 8 seat, and a silver 48t 170mm Origin 8 crankset. I rock a 14t Sungino cog on the back and a white chain.

At the moment the frame is white and I'm rolling on green EighthInch Amelias but within the next 2 weeks the frame is being professionally sand blasted and painted bright candy purple and the molding around the welds is being painted white.

Also i will be ordering anodized green Stars 51mm deep v wheels. They have green spokes and green sealed bearing hubs. The rear hub is also a fixed/free flip flop hub.

I can't wait to finally get this thing done and start riding!!! Final gear ratio will be 48/15

Nice to have you.
Post some pics when it is all finished.

Glad to have ya!! Im from NC too..im northwestern of ya in surry county

Haha thanks guys! I'm ordering the wheels sometime this week if my current ones sell and I'm picking up my Origin 8 seat this Wednesday!! IM SOOOOO EXCITED FOR THIS SEAT!! It's the solid white one with black or white stitches. The one I have on there now is the original from 1984 with the Panasonic logo and this thing sucks!!!!!!
