Here'e another single speed I built . This time a road bike and once again I used an unknown make. I've included a photo of the serial #. Maybe one of you viewers can shed some light. It was originally orange with decals that said,"Honda" and "TEAM". Anyhow, I stripped it down then prepped and painted it a light bronze. I used the bottom bracket that was on it. It had the Apex cranks and Nitto stem which I also kept. I added Specialized track pedals, chopped bars and mismatched brakes (Shimano and Dia-Compe). I had a set of 27" wheels lying around which I outfitted them with 1 1/8 tires and a bmx freewheel. Recovered a cheap saddle in vinyl and embellished it a little to add some "bling". It rides beautifully. If I don't figure out what make it is I'm afraid it will it too will have to be known as a "Flickmanbixter" like my SS MTB that I submitted late last year (final entry in 2008).

Thanks again for a great site Jim!
