Your ss/fixed winter bikes.
 
I wanted to see more but the other winter bike thread seems to have disappeared with the server issue.

So post your winter bikes. :)

I had one and I sold it last night which is a good thing because the guy that bought it wrecked during the test ride.

how did that go?

was it that he crashed it and messed it up and felt he had to buy it now or did he crash and just go "i'll take it!"

Our winters are wet and not too cold. Here's my fendered '89 Trek 660:

The fenders are SKS 35's. I couldn't get them to fit under the front brakes so I just cut them off there. And I had to be a bit McGuyverish with zipties and p-clips, but after a little tweaking they fit just fine.

yup, about a 1986 or so I think

frame, seatpost, stem, headset, brake, brake lever, and chopped/flipped bars are original, rest is not

paid $100 for it 4 years ago, put like 30k on it since, the bike refuses to die

I love it. In June of 1985 my dad took me to Van's Bicycles in Yuba City, CA, where he bought me my high school graduation present: an '85 World Sport in that same ice blue. It served me well through college and beyond and I often think fondly of it, and that it would have made a great fixed conversion had I been able to hold onto it.

Keep trying to kill it. It'll probably out-live you.

Actually, he was still mulling it over while I was contemplating the new gouges in the pristine rear hub and the so-so crankspider. He seemed like an alright guy though and I figured he was going to buy it anyway.

Haven't had a chance to test it in the snow as it's unseasonably warm here.

Home made brake caliper extenders to compensate for the 700c wheel, pretty awesome.

Holy ****, nice. My shipment of parts should be in tomorrow so I'll have my winter fixed up and running by the end of the weekend. Photographs to follow.
