Sara's orange singlespeed

Sara's orange singlespeed by cricketpress.
This is a neat little bike I built up for Sara as an anniversary present. I've been working on it in my spare time here and there (what spare time?!?) over the past month or so. She's used to riding a fat-tired cruiser, so I tried to keep that same basic feel, but with a comfy road bike setup. Early 80's small road bike, devoid of almost all braze-ons; rattlecan paintjob; singlespeed (freewheel), with the original single pivot brake calipers (originally had 27" wheels). I added some Nitto Albatross bars, some mtb levers, new tires, and Weinmann deep 700 rims (formula hubs / flip flop). It's a smooth little ride!
