Description:
This bike was once a 1989 Centurion Ironman Expert Dave Scott Signature 14-speed. I found it in pretty good condition at a local dump/recycling center and bought it for $40. It's very similar to "Lisa Cotterman's Pink single speed," further down on the 2008 list. However, instead of Shimano 600 components, it came stock with Suntour GTX components including brakes, shifters, crank, and both deraileurs. The only things that had been replaced on the bike when I found it were the handlebar and brake levers. Once I had made up my mind about converting the bike into a singlespeed/ fixed gear, I stripped it down, sanded off the existing paint and gave the bike its new color. I used a white Rustoleum primer spray, and finised with a black gloss protective enamel spray, also by Rustoleum. I replaced the seat, rear wheel, tires, stem, handlebars, and brake levers. I was able to reuse the Suntour GTX crank and the inner 42-tooth chainring in front. In back is a Surly 16-tooth fixed cog on one side and a 16-tooth Shimano freewheel on the otherin back. This bike is great for getting around the the streets of Santa Cruz, CA.
