I thought this bike was going to waste just hanging on the wall. I made it to look like an old mixte from many years ago, with a skiptooth chain wheel and single speed with cottered cranks. It has a bare metal frame with painted lugs.
I believe it's an 1987 frame, one of the many I found unused at a junk shop. If anyone knows how to decipher Taiwan serial numbers here it is.
The wheels are 27" but I have a 700C wheelset with A SA kickback coaster hub and new 38mm tires that would go right on. I laced them up a few months ago. Then a good set of cranks are in order. The one I have is new but may be too large, gear ratio wise. I'm going to swap everything over and locate a good set of handlebars.
