Just finished building this one for my wife today. I honestly kind of hated to convert it a little bit because it was in mint condition. I saw it go up on Craigslist this morning for $100 complete, and I got it for $75. It had everything original, completely mint. It must have been ridden about 2 miles and his whole life and then stuck in the garage. But anyway I kept all the original components and if anybody ever wants to convert it back they can, but I also like it as a fixed gear because the valite tubing is a little heavier but once you strip off all the other stuff it makes for a nice light bike. And yes I am putting a break on it, I just don't have it yet.
