The fixie project is still moving forward. The fork is painted. A fine rattle-can paint job with Rustoleum's finest black semi-gloss enamel. The fork crown will be painted red. The other parts were on the bike (bottom bracket, seat post, and head set) or were found in boxes and bags of old bicycle parts that I have been carrying around for years. (I knew I'd need those parts someday!) That would include the Sugino Mighty Comp crank set, pedals, and brake lever. The body for the brake lever is at Blaine's being modified. Everything is now cleaned. Next is to prep and paint the frame. That should be done by the end of next week.
