The cycling world, that is. Not in a bad way (unless, of course, you are my wallet). I love it, so much so, that in about a month after I get my first bike, I want another. My bike rocks and I don't want to replace it, I just want to find an old bike to fix up, so I can learn how to tear down and build up a bike. If I tore down my Bianchi, my hubby would have my head. Plus, then I would have nothing to ride for awhile. I had the privilege of riding a steel bike and now I NEED one. Must. Get. Steel. I have found a couple of Centurions in good condition, I would like to get another Bianchi, but the ones I have found are a bit out of my price range. I was wondering if any of you have any advice for someone wanting to fix up an old bike, or any good online resources for info. Also, can you make a "fixie" into a geared bike? It's just components that need to be changed, right? I know that people take old frames and make fixies from them, so I would assume they can go the other way as well, but it never hurts to ask.

If anyone has photos of their own projects, I would love to see them.

And just for the heck of it, here is my Lola, she needs a sister!!!
