Conversion ad that made me shudder...
 
I'm not normally one to cry foul on the hipsters or fixie guys or whatever else converts old steel to SS/FG but this one had me thinking to myself RUN BIKE RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Might just be the victim is a pristine looking Sekai that bugs me though...

The terrible spelling doesn't really inspire confidence. That and the 4 half arsed pictures.

I don't get it. He's offering to build it up as just about anything - SS/FG, geared, etc. - and the ironic thing is that Sekai is a boat anchor that he's temporarily mounted a first-gen Suntour Cyclone on (with a claw hanger, no less).

We've got a butcher in town too, but he's content with chickens, cows and pigs.

Almost all Sekai's are boat anchors with way too nice of components, but I love them none the less.
