Hi all

The bike was bought by my dad new when he was in his teens and after minimal use it just sat in the garage for most of its life, then I sore it just hanging there with dust and spiders webs all over it. I cleaned it up, got a new set of tyres and did 50-60 miles a week on it. the bike has not been in used for about a year now and i have decided to turn it into a fixie bike. i have seen this frame and bike on ebay for £60 so if someone want to restore this bike its not hard. i wanted to bring it into the 21s century and make a fun fast bike that i can use for commuting.


the frame and forks where rubbed down smooth and then had 4 coats of primer and 6 coats of montana baby blue paint with 1 coat of varnish. the frame and forks are sweet.

the head set, seat post and cranks where polished and all the bearings cleaned and re greased. this bike is a classic i know that but i will never sell this so it is my project and it will be past down to what was called a f**king teen to ride ha
