>>1470132Yes I realize, but really I don't have much money to spend and really it's gotten me places just fine. Both my bikes are very low end mind you. I also just did this to it last night.
Also, I use these almost always to commute, so I don't want to worry if it's getting beat up against posts or thieves tugging it on the lock (which almost certainly happens). I intended to make it a fixie beater.
FWIW my next bike is almost certainly going to be a used track, and I plan on spending about $500 (tell me now if this is a bad idea).
So I figured, why not turn this highly useful and essentially worthless frame into a good hobby/practice/beater/commuter.
>>1470142how can you tell? Sorry, don't know about this. I know the fork bends forward, thats a 'touring' style fork I believe, but where is the bend you're seeing?
>>1470194This is what I was hoping to hear, thanks anon.
