The black stallion
Submitted by nikcee on October 29, 2006 - 9:34pmthis 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.
