a fixie & a pinkie

Matt and I only live about 3 blocks from campus so we decided to buy new (to us) bikes last year when we moved to Mankato. In college I had THREE bikes stolen!Because we won't be leaving college towns anytime soon so I thought it would be best to buy cheap. We found a non-profit bike shop that sells used bikes and we each found a bike that was perfect for us. I paid $20 for mine and Matt paid $30 for his. They were both ride-able, but definitely needed some TLC. We did some minor repairs and upgrades, but knew we wanted to completely fix them up. I decided to paint mine and Matt wanted to convert his to a fixed gear. We finally had a free weekend to get the job done!
