So with 3 current fixies in my stable & the recent theft of my gorgeuos 70’s step thru & then 3 days later the vandalism of my dutch bike (i know they’re ugly, but did you really have to kick the shit out of it you uneducated f#@k(s)??) … thus I thought it was time for something a little different & less "theftable"or “vandalisable” so did some ebaying last weekend…
I won this ridiculous ole skool sweetness for 10 bucks on ebay… all original parts … all it needed was some chain lube & a new inner tube (& a drive out to the burbs to pick it up)… So much fun to ride
While out in the burbs, I saw this sitting in the original BMX owners shed, it had no front wheel though & a bunch of touring crap all over it… a cash offer, an (ebayed) set of 27" rims/gumwalls & a spare saddle later & she was all good to go … the running gear is suntour/shimano combo & in great condition, she rides as smooth as butter … just needs a front brake caliper & some white grip tape to dot the i’s & cross the t’s, then shes done
Only downside is its too small for me, I normally run 57/58’s & this is a 53 … probably should have measured first
