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

I know when I raced bmx it was illegal to race without brakes.....made me mad....I hated brakes back then...but I put them on my race bike and moved on....
no clue about the rules of the road on that one though....boy was my post useless....
