So the story is My wife and I have rented the same apartment for over ten years!
we have the perfect apartment in a great neighborhood, with great neighbors,
And a great landlord, even lets me use the basement for my shop! :mrgreen:
A few weeks ago the landlord stopped by with a fixie someone left in a empty apt. months ago.
It was a some what crude conversion of a 1980's lugged road bike.
My job was just to put some brakes on it.... I decided to spiffy it up a bit
I seem to have lost the before pics somewhere in the computer :roll:
The pics I can find so far
sanded down the brown house paint ..and laid down some primer
I have been wanting to do this color combo for awhile.
Valspar Satin Wine Red and I think its called Sungold Yellow
Then I did spray the whole frame with a few coats of gloss clear
Assembly starts tomorrow!
Thanks for looking![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
