the finished project

Here it is: my cyclocross/cruiser/fixed-gear/mountain bike/commuter/snowmobile.

Basically, I could change the tires and bars on this and make it a racer. Or a straight up cruiser. It's awesome. I bought a Dura-Ace lockring and the proper tube to fit the studded tire to the front wheel today. Swapped the road stem out for a straight one, and fitted those cruiser bars to it, with a single Tektro front brake lever and some grips. With a pair of old toe-clips, it's ready to ride. I did some trail stuff in the park today and it was awesome. Next week it's going to get icy and I'm gonna take her to work.

This bike definitely deserves a name now. I'm thinking.
