I inherited this bike from a family friend who passed away, so I decided to rebuild his everyday commuter in a way that he would have loved. I stripped it down to the frame, spray painted it powder blue and built it up as a single speed, with a manual second gear for off road, for a daily commute to campus. This build is my favorite to date and I'll be rollin' on it for a long time. Also, it's the "Dawn Treader."
