Hey how's it going? I'm Ken, 25 from Boston, MA. I am going to start a fixed gear conversion soon and I wanted a place to document it. I will try my best to update this regularly.

A little background. For the past 2 1/2 years I had a 2005 Cannondale R900 road bike which I loved and pampered, but I guess not enough because it was stolen about 4 months ago. RIP. Luckily it's been winter, but the past four months have been dreadful without a bike. With insufficient funds to buy a similar road bike, I have decided to go fixed. About 8 years ago, my father bought an old Peugeot road bike in NJ from a garage sale, I think for about $25-$50, quite the steal. He has since ridden it twice so I have asked him to take the wheels off and send it to me because I can make better use of it. He lives in Tennessee now, so I'm waiting for the package to arrive. The research I did, the bike looks to be circa 1970-75. From what I remember, it looks something like this image I found on the internet, just not as clean:






As I progress with the work, I will post images on here and keep you updated. This will be mostly a weekend project and I hope to have it running in a month.
