Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

That is a cool frame. I would not repaint unless you get it done by someone that can do it right.

How about a white Selle An-Atomica saddle?

looking good, tape job is messy tho. cables usually are routed underneath the bar rather than to the side. better yet, drill holes and route them inside.
