  • An eBay £40 buy, I turned this vintage tired rusty road bicycle into a clean looking single speed bike, with new wheels, cranks, chain, seat post, seat and brakes.
    I wanted to experiment with creating the usually chromed look on the rear end and forks by polishing the frame and then clear coating afte the paint was applied to the rest of the bike, it turned out really nice and we shall see if it holds out to the rust.
    Another bike destined for the scrap pile saved and now a useable everyday nice looking bike.

    I absolutely love the choice of colors with that deep dark shade of blue, the black crank set, and the wonderful stripped steel at the rear. The only thing that would make this possible any better would be to make it a fixed gear and remove those brakes 😏

    So nice. Very pleasing result. Nothing beats the shower if sparks and smell of heated metal and grease. Pro-tip on cotters: use a screw press to push them out, or a small drift (not too small) to keep the "mushrooming" to a minimum. I f* hate cottered cranks, but they look so good, so I do my best to re-use them. I look forward to the day I toss them in the metal scrap bin.

    I just finished rebuilding a 1996 Cannondale road. I was going to strip, paint and shine the project but it felt like I was just making it pretty for a bike thief. I used Plasti Dip and left the brakes and crank dirty but it rides like a thousand dollar bike 😊

      Most likely: new chain on old cog.

      Other possibility: 1/8" chain on 3/32" cog and/or chain wheel
