This was the first single speed/fixed bike I built from the frame up. It was a Firenze 2000 which evidently was a cheap steel japanese bike. It had an Italian name and a smart head tube sticker. I tinkered with paint color alternatives many times. Even though it was cheap frame the lugs were actually decent looking. Used the wheels, stem and cranks from the Bianchi.
I used a link from a large motorcycle chain to drop 700c brakes to fit a 27 1/4 frame. It worked well. |
