Got the same bike fixed. Changed a few components though (seatpost, stem).
See entry #2721.
It's the best bike I've ever ridden!

This bike is already pretty sick in its geared incarnation...i think it would be way sweeter left as a geared roadie...

Gear fear...

Submitted by madillness on 09/29/2007.

thanks for the comment... but sadly the 1980's shimano and 4 of the 5 gears must go, the bike was bought with the fixie conversion in mind and it will look even more sick, believe me.
