(sorry jas) However after doing some research on Sheldon Brown's site, and conversing with Jimbo and my brother, it's actually a cool concept. I was attracted to the whole idea of simplicity and freedom which makes fixie bikes what they are. Anyway enough blabbering. This is my first project, found an old Raleigh Technium on craigslist for 30$, the Raleigh has an aluminum triangle with steel lugs, front fork, and rear fork. It is very light...after stripping it I weighed the frame itself at 3lbs. <span style="font-weight: bold;">treasure:</span> bars (sekae), fork, stem, headset///// <span style="font-weight: bold;">trash: </span>wheels, cranks, bb, and saddle.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IYGMT9XLeBI/SOrz0H8k4jI/AAAAAAAAADM/o662i0t3lxI/s1600-h/DSC_0023.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IYGMT9XLeBI/SOrz0H8k4jI/AAAAAAAAADM/o662i0t3lxI/s320/DSC_0023.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254279992092975666" border="0" /></a><br />The original paint was not too bad but I think I'm going to spray can it.
