I think I've finished it up for a while. The bank account is drained...
Was a Azuka (Not Azuki, but exact same frame... any info on that, or year?) I bought for $7.50 at a garage sale. I completely remodeled it to a nice road bike and then converted to fix about 3 months later when I got bored. I have a 50:18 gear ratio, rides smooth, weighs about 22 lbs. Fixie riders are a rare breed in Oklahoma.... holla at me.

Nah, you gotta adjust your white balance!
That gold frame ended up being built damn fine. Nice!
