I bought the bike on Ebay about a year ago. I road it geared with the stock components (Superbe f/r derail. and shifters,) and decided I had too many geared bikes. I needed another fixed gear. This bike is much different than the fixed gear I had before this one which has since been retired. This bike is much lighter (20.5lbs), quicker, and nicer riding than my previous conversion. I need to take some new pics and update this because most parts have been changed out.
