Haha no worries guys. It won't ever become a fixie unless someone prys it from my cold, dead hands. I just put my fenders and racks on it and will be posting some hopefully better pictures up soon. I also replaced the tires with some Schwalbe Marathons. It's looking pretty bomber!
One question: Can I beat the hell out of this thing? I do a lot of riding/camping on BLM roads currently and wondering if this can handle the abuse of washed out roads, big rocks, logs etc. etc. It looks like it can but thought I'd ask anyways.
