Project Fixie - finally complete
although I am still waiting for some handlebar tape
here are the details:
early 90's Centurion road frame
alex rims, suzue hubs
52:18 gear combo
chopped and flipped original drop bars
painted with gloss orange rust-oleum spray cans
NO BRAKES
rides like the wind, fast and out of control

the painting went fine, although I should have used a primer before painting cause it took a lot of paint to cover some of the darker areas where is was sanded down to the steel

whoah, that's bizarre. that looks EXACTLY like the fixie i'm currently building.
orange frame,
flipped and cut bullhorns w/o tape,
dark (anodized?) rims
when i first clicked on this post, i was like "whoah did i post my bike on here already?"
suffice it top say, looks good to me. keep on truckin.
