Yes, I said “fixie”! With some persuasion from my fearless girlfriend, I’ve decided to resurrect this kick-ass frame as a fixie, that is, a fixed gear bike. No shifting. No brakes. Just a pure and simple bike! Should be a blast!

So this weeked, I completely disassembled the bike…

Sawed off a few cable guides from the frame, sanded the scratches and 33 years of wear off…

And primed and wetsanded the bike for painting…

I’m going to keep the cool chrome ends on the frame and fork. That’s what’s under the masking tape.

I may paint tonight, I may not. I will keep you, my devoted fans, updated.

By the way… I’ve got a vintage and well used complete SunTour component set for sale if anyone is interesed
