Ever notice that these overpriced fixies appear unridden? I just don't get turning vintage road bikes into something they were never intended to be.

These over built FG/SS on semi junk frames always bug me as a bike guy. For what this guy spent to make one soso FG/SS conversion I could make a 4 or 5 really nice FG/SS conversions. At the end of the day even with the Campy stuff this one maxes out around $300. Just because someone spent a tone of stupid money on FG/SS doesn't mean it worth a lot.
