Bought a 1993 GT Talera to convert to a fixed gear - new dropouts and everything. I don't care about the butchering, but just because I have another identical one. I do have a heart. Cool features: - V-brakes, because when I want to stop I want to stop; - 2 pairs of wheels: the original one, with a fixed hub in the back and a 22 teeth cog, plus some rubbery tires for some fixed mtb action, and a thin one, 700c track wheel in the back and 26x1.0 in the front. To use that cool front brake with both wheels, huh; - Custom dropouts, designed by Mr. Me Myself.

Current Stage Info:
Just put the rest of the pieces in place after welding the horizontal dropouts. Is pretty crazy now.
