Adding a new one to this family. I wanted to make something that race-ish but didn't want to spend much money. Solution: three-speed 60's Phillips bike with the fenders, chainguard, and other fluff taken off and the handlebars flipped over.

Sorry for the long time, been busy with school finals and college applications... you know, irrelevant non-bike-related stuff. Anyway, I don't know about where most of you guys are, but in Maryland it is two things: cold and dry. I managed to finish preparing the frame and fork for primer and...
