ME and My friends have a saying theres doing things the right way, the wrong way and then theres the Ron way. this bike was built the Ron way. thogh it holds up and is a sweet little commuter. its Janky as F@#k.
i love my bike and have put alot of time into it. the majority of my time was spent fixing previous mistakes on it. due to the lack of an actual track wheel, i simply epoxied my cog onto the hub. forever damming the wheel the fix geardom. bfore i turned the bike into a fixed gear i was ran off the road and impaled the bike into a barrier. the frame survived the fork did not. i rode the torched fork for awhile but eventuall had to put a new fork on it. the fork that i used to replace it is an old mt bike fork. the stem on my bike is abnormally long making it hard to get a replacement. so now its a silver bike with a red fork.
another good peice of time i have spent on this bike was truing the wheels. when i first got the wheels i have on this bike they were very out of true. after a long time studying i felt confident that i could true them myself. it took a while and some teachings from my friends Travis and Denis, but i finally got it.
after way to long and sooooo much trial and error i came out with a fairly functional bike. it just goes to show that doing it the right way is always best. but i learn more doin it the RON way.
