well i recently picked this frame up and converted it to a fixed gear... its from the late 70's early 80's im not sure.. anyways its the first production of aluminum road bikes and the frame is not like a typical bike that is welded in the joints but rather "glued and screwed". i guess the question i have is whether the quality (price?, and strength?) of these bikes are relatively good. and with the stress of riding a fixed gear, would the frame hold up? considering its not welded... sorry for the ****ty pic all i have is my cell phone camera...
