fixie project

I made it down to my local bicycle shop. (See the beginning of my fixed-gear bicycle project.) The frame is now all apart. The picture shows the parts that can be saved. The bag has the head set and bottom bracket — worn but servicable, with the addition of new bearings. The saddle and pedals will come off my road bike. I've started stripping the paint off the front forks. I will be going over to Blaine's later on in the week to remove the cable stops. He has a torch and knows how to apply heat safely to a frame. I should have the frame mostly stripped by then. Then I can start painting and reassembling.
