Just picked up this old Girondelle single speed (not a fixie) yesterday.
I am going to replace the handle bars with straight bars, completely replace the brakes all together, replace the pedals, maybe the cranks and the seat. Then I am going to paint it flat black and Destro it up a bit. Pretty fun to ride though. _________________

If you were really rad, you'd ride your bike with no handlebars.
Careful!!!! It looks like you may have some broken glass on the floor there in your bike/shoe shed/dojo. _________________

I hope you didn't spend more than $25 on that. _________________

I like how they ran the cable in that place.

The cable comes through the old milk door, yes my building is that old. And I don't have a mop to mop that little front area. Plus me and my roommate both have a shitload of shoes it's not even funny. _________________

I am putting straight bars on it and totally redoing the brakes altogether so the cables won't look so retarded. _________________

Nice, I love the old school pic in your sig!
My friend is working on the bike now, putting new bars and brakes on it, maybe even a whole new crank set. He is gonna strip it all down and paint it flat black. _________________

The lower part of the front forks are chrome, they are staying that way so they can be kind of Destro-ish. My girl is working on some Destro stencils for me for the bike. _________________

She's gonna make Destro stencils? I bet that pretty much seals the deal. _________________
