The black stallion

this was my first fixed love... its changed a bit since i straddled it outside mighty riders.

new seats, cranks, bb, bars (risers, classic drops), pedals (x2), tyres (x i wouldnt want to guess), fenders, brakes, bells... its now my daily commuter/wet weather bike.

it rides stable as a draughthorse, slow off the mark, but once she starts rolling on the open road its a comfortable ride.

i stripped almost all the decals off and have recently put full fenders on as a concession to vancouvers rainy winters (and avoiding getting soaking wet feet every ride).

i sort of think that she doesnt like doing tricks, but she has been patient enough to let me learn trackstands and seated skids, anything else and she makes it difficult for me.
