Wow – my friend has this really nice very old road bike frame. It is probably from around 1970 and from the UK as it had Reynolds tubing decals. It has a really nice geometry. He had grinded off the original paint and repainted it himself with white and various grey tones and splatters. We converted it to fixed gear with nice components like Velocity 700c Deep-V rims. This is how his fixie now looks like:
It had taken us about 5 hours to put all the parts together and install them on the painted frame. Here is a picture of the virgin ride (unfortunately it was already getting dark outside). Now he can finally join our Beijing Fixed Gear Bicycle group on one of our rides around the capitol city of China.
