Convert it to fixed?

Or just restore it/ride it as is?

Really I would say no, the bike is a nice vintage, might as well restore this one and convert some other random forgoten about bike to SS/FG..

I agree with goatmeal. Just clean it up and you've got yourself a nice vintage bicycle.

You know something about this bike?

Can you tell it's got the bad fork from the picture?

Ride really fast down a steep hill...(HAH just kidding !!)
Well it is aluminium so it would not rust without some kind of paint or sealent. Is that chrome? If not then its aluminium, I don't think aluminium can be chromed...O! I just had a though...use a magnet! if it doesn't stick then its aluminium
