I assembled the singlespeed, paint-job has to wait, the original paint is reacting with the spray-paint. The frame has to be pearl-blasted. Need to find a shop where they won't charge 4x the worth of my bike haha.

Took it for a quick spin, it's awesome! Didn't fit the new red chain either (yet) I'm not convinced with the ratio I'm riding now. I'll ride it for a bit and then decide. When it's done it will be flat black, red and aluminum accents and maybe a red/grey pin striping if my friend feels fit and up for it Smile Also the blue rubbers will be exchanged with red ones once their worn

looks all right, has good geometry for a conversion Smile raise the nose of the saddle a notch and a shorter stem would look great

old paint is weird to paint over, makes it crack even after sanding down, try some paint stripper? then sand the rest and wash it, should work...

why not fit a SS kit or bmx freewheel?

It's a 20 year old bike. The rear rim isn't that great anymore, so I'm getting a new one. A Focale 44 with flip-flop hub asap. (But I just bought a new camera so I'm kind of broke whehe.)

The paint is weird, I sanded down the clear coating on it, then washed it down with a strong organic industrial cleaner. Still the paint reacted with the one from the spray-can... Now I'm looking for a shop that will take a descent price for pearl/shell-blasting the frame/fork. The ones I called took mostly 4x the price I payed for the entire bike Razz
