Single Speed Bike UPDATE

As mentioned in a previous post, i'm piecing together a single speed bike. I recently got an amazing deal on a 70's "Terranaut" touring bicycle. As far as I know, or what i've heard, is that Terranaut's were custom built here in STL by and for The Touring Cyclist (A guided touring company based out of STL). The frame is a beautiful deep red and has almost no nicks in the paint. I have ordered new parts and kept it under budget. Here is a pic of the bike:



List of new parts soon to be installed (When they arrive):
-Bullhorn Handle Bars
-Yellow Bar Tape
-Reverse Tektro Brake Levers
-Yellow Brake Cables
-Rear Rack (Will probably get painted yellow)
-Planet Bike Freddy Fenders Hardcore
-Water Bottle Cage (Yellow)

I will post new pictures as I install this new equipment!
