Mid 1980's Focus MTB converted to single speed. Pure PINK! Brakes have not been installed yet. Bike frame, wheels, tires - all were freebies from my bikie friends who no longer had a need for the items. The remainder of the stuff came from my spare parts pile. I'm liking the way this one is turning outl. Cool - Old - PINK! Frame is butted Tange Prestige.
