fixie update

My friend Nate inspired me to build up this frame. He was looking into producing his own brand of bikes. Him and I came up with the name of our bike company. BMA bikes. stands for
Big Man Approved bikes'

I spent last night painting the frame in the garage, 2 coats of primer, 3 coats of flat black, and 3 coats of flat clear coat. I decided not to powdercoat this time around, because of its price, and also because if this frame cracks, i want to be able to strip the paint and re-weld it.

Here are some updated pics. Bike weighs right in at 22 lbs, which isn't too shabby in the bike world.
Just a little over 300 into the bike. Kept it within budget, but still with some very nice components.
