More Info:
Ratty Carlton Flyer Track picked up cheap. Currently built up as a Daily Beater. May get a new saddle, seatpost , and pedals depending how it goes. And brake. Going to keep these frame ratty and oily-raged, would hate to loose the look of the original paint/decals.
Bloody fast, Bloody fun.
