A restored vintage 64cm bike with stainless lugs and fresh paint for only a little bit more than a bikesdirect.com singlespeed / fixie?
Don't let these haters who think it's just a matter of time before they pick up a Hetchins for $150 get you down, that's a win, and it looks like it will be tremendous fun.
Absolutely
Looks like a beautiful bike to me. Just because it is straight gauge and is not 'Columbus BSYCG' (best sh't you can get) tubing does not by a long shot mean its junk. Did you pay a little bit for it?? Well maybe you did, so what! You wanted it, the bike was beautiful, and you got it. I dont think you'll ever regret that purchase.
