I loved my Knight Rider big wheel. It had handbrakes! Pure joy.

Are you serious? Were you ROFLing that hard in the first place?

hahahah, good point

Thanks. It looks even nicer now with the new tyres i just put on! :)
Schwalbe Blizzards in black, btw.

My brother and I used to have these. It was awesome.

.. and World Champ TASSELS!!!!!

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3196/...980dab4f_b.jpgI just picked up this Novara Strada for $free.99 from my neighbor who didn't want it.
I don't think it's been ridden more than 20 miles.
It'll make a decent conversion.

Don't convert that! Thats beautiful and in amazing shape, sell it to someone who'll appreciate it as is and then buy a crap bike to convert for the money you make. or keep it and enjoy the gears until you can afford a fixed.

I already have a Raleigh One-Way, a conversion based on a hand built frame and Motobecane that's about to be set up for SS.
I guess I could keep it stock and ride it.
I'm just in the habit of looking for cheap bikes to fix up....and this one was cheap.

Oh yeah...Big Wheel FTW.

I'd fix it up but not "fix it." You can make plenty on it just maybe not as easy as selling a "sweet fixie (cringes and rolls eyes)" on CL in about 2 days to a 19 Year old kid just itching shave the derailers, rattle can it, and slap on some deep V's and a TT pad. :)

Nice ride, where'd you get the basket?

^ LBS, you can get them off Amazon as well for like $10

Is this the one?

^ thats the one

That would make a pretty cool tourer if you slapped some 700c's on there and put 35-40mm tires on it, assuming those are 27"'s on there currently.

Don't forget to find the frame pump that goes in that bracket.

You'll kill all the bike's character by converting it. You know those nasty super slack wheel-base, janky conversions with Weinnman Deep V's that cost more than the rest of the bike? That's the danger territory you'd be treading... hands off!

I can see your point.
I spent $400 on my last conversion, but it's a very nice hand built lugged frame.
I guess any money on this would be lipstick on a pig.
I just wish it was a different color....

lol sounds like what I'm building only with Velocity Deep V's with Phill hubs. :D
