Bought the original bike for $60 to convert to a fixed gear. Based off the serial number this bike was assembled on New Year’s Eve, 1986. Besides the frame and fork, the only original component is the quill stem because it fit the Nitto handlebars. It was originally painted in Winter Mint, but I thought it deserved a dope paint job. I re-painted the frame and fork in Porsche Mexico Blue with black and fluorescent yellow peekaboo highlights.
