This is the reason my hands are full of cuts and the cement outside my front door is stained blue. I started with a late '80s Centurion ten speed that the one and only Christopher Kruse so graciously gave me, then I tore it apart. I sanded off all of the Saved by the Bell'o'licious paint and then spayed it as you see above. I bought a few new parts, cleaned up some of the old parts, and assembled what I think is a pretty sexy fixed gear machine. It was a ton of fun to build and it's even more fun to ride. I feel slightly bad for Mr. Belvedere, but I'll still take him out when I need to carry a load or in the rain. Belvedere's the SUV, this is the sports car. I need a name for the fixed gear, so please give me some suggestions. Also, I recommend you all check Craigslist, buy an old bike for cheap, and build a fixed gear of your own.
