Fixed Obsession


This is what I've been doing the last few days. A friend gave me this old steel frame bike. I turned it into a fixed gear using a few parts I had plus some new ones. Total outlay: less than $100
So now I have a nice fixed gear bike for my friends (guests) to ride when I go out on my fixie. Actually, I like it better than my ride so now I'm looking for parts for mine as to win more style points. The guest bike should fit anyone 5'-7" to 5-10" as the frame looks like a 55 or 56cm( I have not measured it) plus the seat post is long enough to put a taller person on it.
I have been running. Thought I'd just run longer this week but with less frequency as I still feel a little fatigued. Thought I'd be back physically by now but that isn't happening. So my next step is a Blood work up. Just to study my numbers..hct, iron levels and C-reactive protein along with some others.
