The brochure picture is what it looked like when I purchased it for 100 bucks in pretty darn good shape....however, my plans are to turn this one into a single speed...I am halfway there... I installed new Origin 8 track cranks, 46 teeth, 175mm, chain, seat post and saddle. Currently I have the original freewheel installed with the chain installed on the 16 tooth cog to see how the ratio works out. Next I want to get a Surly flip flop hub and rebuild the rear wheel with the original rims. As you can see the original rims are concave - very interesting. Why change them, they are light and seem strong? I also want to upgrade the handlebar to a 44cm and install some new brake levers....
I'll keep the blog abreast!!!
