First layers of paint..
Project SS / Fixie. Step III
Hmmmmmm.
Kinda took an (un?)expected direction......
This ol' Raleigh just showed up in the mail
Sanded and ready for its first layers of paint.
What it's soon to become....
Project SS / Fixie. Step II
And here's the first update......
Headset, fork, brakes and a hard-to-get 26.2 seatpost
Project SS / Fixie. Step I
First. Go down in the basement and drag out that old blue rusty steel frame with the original yellow paint shining through. Second. Sand it slightly, get it cleaned up and paint it red. Wheels will of course be handbuild. 32 spoked high flanges with a flip flop rear. And no. That's not the fork I'm gonna use...
My Bikes in their summer dress
