Current Stage Info:
Added a leather saddle for that classic look. Needed the outboard-bearing crank for Cross Check #2, so this received a used square-taper crank from the shop basement.

Elegantissmo! Thanks for sharing. Any particular reason for the reversed toeclip bolts?

Thanks. I honestly cannot remember the reasoning behind the reversed toe clip bolts. The pedals were packed away with them installed for several years. There is a good chance they were assembled after a few beers were consumed though.. haha!

the blue is so pristine, do you like it as a fixed gear or have you thought of going freewheel?
Why would you choose either or?

The reason I went with a fixed gear setup was because that is what I had available laying around. With this bike being primarily used as a slow cruiser around town, a freewheel would seem appropriate, but having it set up fixed provides a bit more challenge on an otherwise characterless ride.
