Fixed Gear

So I found something new to obsess over. I picked up this beautiful red/orange classic Schwinn this morning and I am embarking on an interesting journey to convert it to a fixed gear. This being my first and only road bike, i was a bit hesitant to start on a fixie , but i figure if i build it myself, ( and with the help of Marco”mr. you gotta get a fixie” Camargo), that might give me a solid introduction into the sport and culture- enough to get rolling! Here’s a few before pics. I should have some “in progress” and pretty soon “after” pics as well.
