So I saw this on sale near me for $40. I don't need a bike but for whatever reason I really love the look of this and was thinking about converting it to a fixie. Do y'all think this would be worth it?

Ehhh if you don’t like biking, don’t get this. That thing is going to weigh a ton and not be fun to ride unless you are in a super flat city.
It’s old and heavy, pass
**DO NOT NEUTER THAT BOY!** he’s perfect just the way he is!
I have 3 1970s era 3 speeds – yes heavy – yes technology has surpassed them- idc I love riding them.
40 bucks is a great price if you like it. It’s probably a good project bike if you want to fix it up. But I wouldn’t recommend using this as a basis for making a fixed gear, unless you want your fixed gear to be a very chill city bike (most people use more aggressive road/track bikes as fixed gears).
I hate those bars.
fairly entry level heavy bike, you can do a lot better for a little more money, not a bad bike for lazy cruising though
Over priced, offer $4
40 bucks buy it, I personally would keep it 3 speed and put better caliper brakes if anything. Good hop on for casual short trips.
