Hello everyone !
I am new to bycicle mechanics and just bought this bike for 40 bucks. I plan to make a fixie from it. Do you think it is a good candidate ? Some rust on the frame is a problem ?
Can’t wait to work on it and make it mine 😁

I’ve done that before with a similar looking frame. You may run into problems with pedals, fork and handlebars. For safety maybe keep a handbrake, unless you’re a riskier individual.
nice score. that’s pretty cheap, however I wouldn’t convert this bike.
There are some great tutorials on YouTube. Lots of us, including some fixie famous dudes out there, started on conversions like this. It’s a rest way to learn about working on bikes, learn if you like riding fixed, and really makes you appreciate a proper fixed gear if/when you upgrade.
Do it!
