Summer Project: Single Speed Road Bike.
Project Bike
Originally uploaded by jessek. Before.
I inherited a vintage 70s era Peugeot road bike from my parents. However, it had issues:
It needs some real handlebars, not these crappy mountain bike ones. The kickstand has to go, and I want to convert it to a freewheel single speed. Also, the tubes probably are due to be replaced as I think they've both got slow leaks.

Well, the handlebars have been replaced with vintage Peugeot chrome handlebars and the kickstand is gone. Next step, single speed conversion.
Haven't replaced the tubes yet, but that's next. Then, the single speed conversion. I also plan on getting some bike lights for night riding.
This bike rules, so much better than my old piece of shit that i bought at Target.
