Quite right... It will NOT become a fixie/SS! I am polishing up the Normandy hubs and will build the new wheels up to be as original looking as possible. The rims as found were rusty and dented and warped so I don't feel at all bad about vanquishing them.

I will post photos when I get it on the road. If you are in Chicago we can meet up so you can take it for a spin... and get some Lemonade.
I was eyeballing this one on friday as well...........I replied to an ad in Elgin, can't remember if this was the one though...........great find!
