This is my old Centurion fixed-gear conversion. That's red duct tape on the handlebars. The rear brake doesn't work -- when I get energetic I'll remove the rear brake cable, rear brake, and brake lever.
Things that have never been replaced on this bike include handlebars, brake levers, stem, headset, frame, fork, seat post, saddle, brakes, and drive-side crank arm. The bottom bracket is original too but it's making really scary creaking noises right now.
The pedals are about the third set for this bike and it's time to replace them now.
A view from the right of my freshly painted fixed-gear bicycle. It was converted from a mid-80s Japanese road bike.
I have a relatively low gearing ratio because I ride the bike in Santa Cruz, CA, and I have to get up some gnarly hills. Of course, with the spinning, it can be harder to get down.
First is an "S OB T" not sure what the the S and T stand for, Next is unmarked but I guess Ohio Brass made it judging by its mixed colors, And the last is unmarked.
