(One of my friends wanted to throw it out some years ago, so I saved it from such untimely death). However, what I "plan" to make it is no fixie, but a proper old school road bike. Just bring it back to life, actually... as it once was a beautiful bike in itself.

Personally I don't know why I'd eschew the modern tech of gearing (and just when are we getting automatic transmissions for bikes?) I find even with my seven gears I'm still sometimes spinning too fast or standing on the gears of my giant pink hollywood cruiser. The frames they used are all very slick looking racing frames, so that's interesting. They don't bother to paint/clean/scrape or otherwise fix up the frames so you get a real frankenbike effect with the new bits they put on. apropos of nothing, I want to share this link with my fave bike community: http://failblog.cheezburger.com/thereifixedit Thereifixedit is a cheezeburger site, sorry, but today they posted up a video showing a conversion of a junked frame to fancy fixie.

Yeah - I know I should keep my mouth shut.
