The Fix

At the risk of being too newsy with blogs (which I rarely keep up on anyway), here's some update on the fixed gear bike.

Ahhh, primer. Funny how this look is appealing. Maybe if there were some orange Velocity wheels going on it.

Speaking of wheels, the originals on this bike were beyond repair. House of Bicycles, a local bike shop, has fixed gear parts and has been very helpful in this build. They set me up with two rolling Alex wheels for a fair price so I plan to use them as my local supplier of bits.

Also worth noting- I took the day off from work to finish sanding and prepping the frame for prime/paint today. I'm class.
