My Pathracer Build


OK, another story about one of my bikes... see a trend developing here? One of the places I hang out on line is fixedgeargallery.com. For the last couple of years they have been sponsoring a bike building contest, usually with some unusual twists. For 2007 the theme was Path Racer bikes, a turn of the century (the last one, not this one) style of off and on road fixed racer. We had a couple of months to complete the projects and (here's the twist) a budget limit of $187!

Rather than reprint the entire write-up here, along with all of the pictures, I will provide a link to the article posted on Fixed Gear Gallery. Hope you enjoy the story. Oh, and the bike took second place!

Gorgeous bike. Congrats on a beautiful build. Somehow, I missed this one on the FGG. I know you're a bike mechanic but I still don't know how you did it within that $187 budget.

Cheers,

Victor

Victor, it was done with the help of Ebay, Lowes and a whole lot of elbow grease!
