Red fixie

Later on, I have received a different Raliegh made in 90's in America. This one was in very bad condition, with sticky things all over with scratched tubes and seat tube full of garbage. I have decided to paint the frame by myself for the first (and the last) time to see if i'm capable of doing a decent job and whether it will save money and time. However even with 4 layers of paint it still looks amateur. Nothing compares to powder coating. The frame itself is huge more than 60cm. It's very beautiful bike and i made it for sell, but so far even with prices lower than cost, i cannot sell it. Two lessons learned: 1) don't paint yourself 2) don't make bikes when you have no customers waiting.
It was also the first bike i have installed threadless system and BMX pedals. And of course the colors finally make sense.
