Benotto Fixie

Built this in the fall. Great ride. Was a daily rider until it snowed and such. Enough said.

Super-ultra-hyper-awsome-ricidulousness. The pinstriping around the lugs sets the whole thing off. The black hubs, spokes, and nipples add to the effect too. Now the hard part, keeping the white paint that clean.

Thanks. This was another ground-up project so I had the chance to get everything the way I wanted it. Blasted and shaved the frame, powder-coated it. And did the pin-striping with an automotive scratch removal paint pen. Plus I learned how to lace wheels. Hopefully I'll get it out to the track when spring rolls around.
