My NEW BIKE!
A beauty, no?
She's an undetermined make and year, I'll probably do some more research on that later, but she rides well. 10 speed I think (not really use to gears, and also don't really care). Fairly light, odd handlebars but working brakes, and a slight bit tall for me, but a decent price (I think), so she will do!
Here's the plan:
Paint, perhaps dark forest green and keep the lugs silver?
New handlebars, I'm thinking drop bars, nicely wrapped with gel inserts!
Take off rear brake and gears, this girl is going fixie!
Rear rack has an undetermined fate at this time, handy, and looks fine now, maybe it will get a paint job too.
Here are the issues:
Where can I paint? It's getting cold, plus I live in a dorm! Not sure if the park across the street is open to me hanging my bike from a tree and spraying it. (Professional job is FAR too much money)
Need to learn a bunch more about bikes! What size tires do I want, what size handlebar will fit? What is the best bargain fixed wheel to buy?
Nonetheless I'm super excited to start on this project in my spare time (haha what a joke!)
