so my friend's parents have given me a bike to build for her for christmas, and i just wanna know what it is before i dive in, as id like to make it somewhat original again. i know for a fact the only stock parts are the frame/fork, maybe the headset and BB, the seat post and clamp, and i think...

Cool Blue. why? cuz Big Red's already taken. so i built Big Red almost a year ago, and ever since i got it going, my friend has always wanted to ride it wherever we go, switch bikes so he can etc. And that gets really annoying lol so i decided to pick up this cheap huffy diamond frame(luckily...

i recently built this bike up, just to have another varsity fixie. now that ive got it together, im debating paint or leaving it as is. if i were to paint it, it would end up with murderd out wheels, whitewalls or gumwalls(another thing i need input on), and metallic or even metalflake candy...
