I'm not arguing about shit. i'm saying it's his bike, let him get on with it. Help if you're going to help, positivity a very powerful thing considering it's free.
i have a feeling where hacksawing and rattlecanning it black was mentioned, you might have missed something...
I ride a converted bob jackson,
I ride it because my next door neighbour was clearing out his garage at the exact same time I was thinking about whether to build a fixed bike or geared bike, he'd seen me working on my other bike and asked if i wanted his for parts, so now have both.
My fixed bike has been build on a fairly tight budget, apart from the recent campag crank + bb.
I will most likely get it sandblasted and clearcoat it, as the paint is very tatty and I reckon the naked look would suit it.
Talking about benefits of conversions, I could have sworn sheldon mentions something about comfort in there somewhere?
However to agree with you, i would never buy a road frame to run as fixed, unless it was ridculously beautiful/cheap.
