Thanks man.
We had one at the shop I worked at, but it was a 59t and I don't work there anymore haha. They are pretty damn light.

Yeah, it was a experiment. Seat has already been returned to a more comfortable position. As for the post being high, the seat tube isn't quite high enough for me.

Since I'm on a roll...
Just built this for my wife. Technically it's neither a FG or SS, but a 2sp. I rebuilt a Bendix 2sp kickback coaster hub (super fun to ride, not to build). This started life as a 5sp Concord roaster that my sister gave me (cost her $20). I removed the braze-on's, built the new hub up, painted, etc. Had flopped roadster bars, they looked cool but were uncomfortable, changed them to promenades. I let her have my SR royal pista cranks for the 80's too. I'm such a giving husband.
EDIT: Before someone gives me s***. It had drop bars, hence the TT protector, changes the bars out, but she wouldn't let me take the TT protector off. She liked it too much and there was no changing her mind. Now it just slides up and down the TT to protect the paint when she locks it up.

fixie lowrider says: "my name is A$$JAMMER!"
old italian folding bike me and my husband found behind a neighbors house after they moved out..it was all covered in grass and vines and I rode it until the bearings started to grind in the wheels..it went about 100miles or so in some group rides before that happened..then I got the sweet bmx wheels and put the stock lowrider tires on it hehe..

I had a set of full Honjo's on it and like the blue tires, they didn't look right. I sorta like the shorties, I've seen them in a few old path racer photos and british lightweights- always liked how uselessly cool they looked.

I'm only half kidding on the Honjos, but my first choice is Bluemels fenders (if I can find some that aren't totally beat or cost a zillion dollars).

I was thinking about putting the Honjos on French rando frame. If they don't fit, I may send you a PM
One thing about blue tape and shellac, the cotton sucks up the shellac so much it turns almost black after just a couple of coats.
BTW, the cool thing about shellac is that if you wrap your bars reverse and end on the bar ends, you don't have to use electrical tape, twine, etc. You can just stuff it in, put your plugs in and shellac away.
