I've already started slipping with my blog updates. My bad.

Last week, my buddy Joe hooked me up with a sweet raleigh bike, it was in pretty terrible shape, the chain was so rusty it skipped every time I rode it which wasn't much fun riding it roughly 8 miles home, the back wheel was also thick with rust and needs replacing and I can't shift the chain wheel or the cranks to remove them, not a great start to this project, but nevermind.
Today I picked up some parts from Billys bike store in town, bought new chain wheel and chain, new axle, new rear cog and new cranks, can't wait to fit them all, got to take the frame into town tomorrow though to get old parts removed.

Still super stoked on the idea of fixed gear bike rides. I'll post some pictures over the weekend of my progress.
