Newest Baby: T. J. Quick

matt - aka "short_matt" on ebay, so dont buy any of his crap - just got this little beaut'.

so after he sends me a couple of links off ebay of various sized machines (and of all different construction - alu, steel welded, steel lugged) that hes bidding on or wants to bid on, i send him an email going, "ok you might benefit from a spot of research, just to see what exactly it is you like or would like to have in a bike: ie, frame size & make, vintage, style, etc. then, research what you want to do with it, ie, does singlspeed interest you? do you want to fix it? do want to build a multi-gear speed racer?"

about an hour later, he sends me another text going, "I DID IT! I GOT A BIKE! CAN YOU HELP ME BUILD A FIXIE???"

so much for those suggestions.

but, luckily, its a nicely lugged steel frame (with some decent chromed bits), horizontockular high-school drop outs, and tons of potential.

but what do you think, gang?
