1970's-80's Miyata Liberty that I just finished the conversion on. 'Tis my first attempt at creating a fixed gear. Used the cheapest parts I could find on HarrisCyclery.com. 42/15 gearing. It's enough to keep me at a decent speed. I'll probably drop it down to 14 eventually. Or get a bigger front chainring.



Still deciding whether I want to put bullhorns on or not. I'm going to give it a few weeks to see if I ever use the drop part. Therefore the bars aren't taped yet. Also waiting on the decision to figure out where to mount my brake lever/s.

Any suggestions for colors to paint the frame? I will probably rebuild the front wheel with a black hub, when funds become available.
