Single Speed madness. I still need to find a seatpost and get smaller tires (slicks) so I can fit the fenders on. Also I need some hardware for the rack.


Wooden chaingguard .


Smoothed out the ugly welds, rattle can paint job (ignore the sticker ;-| ).


I think most people would be surprised to learn it's a cheap early 90's Magna mountain bike frame.
