A simple singlespeed racer

[Frankie plekhand]

I'm making the finishing touches on my simple bike.for daily use
I started with an old steel mtb frame and shaved everthing of i didnt need.
Upgraded the wheels from 26 inch 21 speed to 28 inch racewheels with a coaster brake hub in the rear.
Installed a old chrome racefork i had laying around.
Replaced the bracket with a betrer one and a chrome crankset
The frame in primer

Front wheel

The rear wheel

Cranks, pedals, chain, stem, bars and fork

.
.
.
And here is it put together with the frame in flat black.

Yes it still needs a seat post and a saddle but thats on its way as i'm typing this..

Still have to put the pedals on..

The seat post will be chrome and the saddle and tape on the bars will be blue too
So that's ot for now, i'll post more pics when i'm done!

Kool color combo.. I've always love the black and blue color combo myself.. I've quit a few single speeds cruiser but sold them all. Keep up the good work.!!

Great criteria for a build & good to see some old mountain tripe re-commissioned as something far more attractive!

I love the clean simple look!

Black, blue, & chrome....

Hmmm....I currently have a bike that would be ideal for something like this...

Thanx! I was actually thinking of painting the framelugs white with a blue pinstripe to seperate the black from the white but i changed it to all black because i think its cleaner this way
But i think that im gonna put some white accents on the framelugs, bit i want to keep it as clean as possible..
Like this

Too bad i am already waiting a month and a half for my saddle thats being shipped from hongkong( atleast they told me they shipped it)
Its this one but in bleu

My single speed recently fell and my forks got bent n the front rim also bent.
Ur bike looks good it's inspiring it makes me want to build myself another bike. It's simple but looks good.

My saddle finally arrived!

Time to ride it!
Or to sell it
