Makeover: Complete

This is basically the same bike I posted a few months ago, but I stitched some leather onto some new handlebars, got a new saddle, new pedals, new wheels, and most importantly, a new paint job. One of my students paints cars, so he sprayed it for super cheap. It's holding up much better than the rattle can job I did the first time. Hopefully I don't crash it.

No crashing please.
Oh, and in reference to the blog from the other day, did you run over a cat?

Michael Baker said...

Fortunately, Robin, I did not run over a cat. The fictional speaker, however, did. Unfortunately.

Take your bike and mosey on up here. Plenty of shady trails and lots of hopsbarleygoodnesswithatouchofyeoldirishwhiskey.

OMG! Beautiful job! I'm thinking of building a fixed gear. It would be my first attempt. Any suggestions on where to start?
