47/18

my first fixed gear converted for relatively cheap. I bought the bike for 8bux at a rummage sale in Michigan and tried to keep a lot of stock parts. i am now using the stock weinmann front brake with an in-line lever. the tires are white Vittoria zaffiro pro's 700x23. its pretty heavy but the conversion stripped off several pounds.
