I have a fixie that is pretty crap; ebay components, mix match wheels and rusted frame. I got a new one and this has been left redundant and I thought it would be nice to make it into a track bike (not hipster,but proper track etc) as the frame is not bad weight.
My plan is to make it look cool (as with any plan with a bike) and I have seen the weather beaten, rusty baremetal look with weld marks showing. I guess the first place to start is sandblasting the components but then what? What's the best way to get this effect as I really have no idea where to start as most places on the web are useless. Thanks guys, I understand this is a load of gibberish and weirdness.
