Low resolution picture, so it's hard to see but my bike is definitely well aged. Rust, patina, scratches, dents, etc...

hahah if only it was blood. its red grease, i just used it to lube up the chain...quick and dirt.

the frame is an 80's ross eurosport (i think) 59 or 60 cm, rattlecanned flat black. i really dont know 100% what model or what year or even what size, but i know its a ross and i know its somewhere around the high 50's.

It reminded me of my raliegh frame, from the pics the two are nearly identical, i pulled the same rattlecan paint job on mine too. just piqued my curiousity

And now I saw this thread was necro'd, but I just don't care because that bike embodies beausage. A converted fixed gear in all of its utilitarian glory.

QFT. Next winter when I'm knee deep in snow and just trying to bike to school I solemnly vow that I am up to no good or however that goes, and I'll play.
