Holy smokes yours looks sweet! I threw some peddles and a 20 inch tire on mine just to see if it would ride. It rides VERY nice, I like how it feels. The more I look at it though, I think I like how the rusty handlebars and rear fender looks with the brown paint. I may leave it that way. Either way I feel lucky I got it for free! Edit: after cleaning up the ross, the paint is PERFECT! The Handlebars are very rusty and steel wool only took a chunk of the rust off so if I don't keep the rust it will have to be ground down and painted. I have all the time in the world to think about what I want to do so I'm not going to sweat it.
After further evaluation, that chain is toast, so I will get another one soon, but in the mean time I'm too worried about the rising flood waters getting closer to my front door to worry about a bike. Any-hoo heres a pic of her all put together. One quick question though, I've mostly fixed and repaired smaller bikes, how do I go about sizing up the chain for this? I have about 5 or 6 bmx chains around, but they are too small for this bike. Would a chain off of an old ten speed work, or would it not because this is a single speed?
I think this is the first time I have ever not had an extra chain. Would figure that it is my bike, and not one I'm fixing up for a kid!
