Rust spots are still visible, but I will rattle can her grey, black or pink at a later date.

Notice the handlebars, wicked looking, but only comfortable in very few hand positions.

Taiwan's finest rescued from the thrift store

new wheels

Some months ago CK found this old steel taiwanese frame in a thrift store. I had originally planned to put it back together as a TT bike, but when I was in River City Cycles they had rear track wheels with flip flop hubs for $85. I splurged for tires, a freewheel as well as a track cog, chain, bar tape and rim tape. I re-used the saddle, hack-sawed the weird triangular time trial bars that where on there and the result is a functional ride any posenger would be proud of. In the first iteration I tried to use the old school pedals with toe clips. A ride around the neighborhood proved getting my toe into the clips was near impossible while pedaling at speed, do to the constant pedal rotation. I snagged an old pair of clipless pedals with wide platforms out of my odds and end drawer, which should be much easier to clip into properly.
