Re: "Hot Rod" Bicycles

I know its not a beach cruiser. But since it's the fastest bike I have ever had, I think its a hot rod. This started out as a Fuji espree road bike. after shortening the rear end, adding horizontal drop outs, straightening and shortening the forks brazing in the holes where the brakes mounted, and removing all the braze-ons for the cable guides. I added a fixed gear hub, njs stamped track drops and an early 80's sella italia flight saddle, I ended up with a sweet, vintage lugged looking fixed gear track bike. which I used to ride to work everyday. (no brakes and a fixed hub makes for some really responsive and fun riding)
