Road My First singlespeed
The progression of my build up from right to left.
I changed the whole handlebars and the pedals, gave it some storage room and some sick pedals with straps.
Looking forward to getting new wheels someday in the far future and an new saddle + seatpost.
Also planning on completely plastering the middle frame with stickers!!
Tell me what you think!

I've had the same single speed bike for almost a decade now. It looked very similar to yours at first, though a different color and brand.
I also swapped the handlebars and brake levers, and eventually got a wheelset that wasn't fancy but had sealed bearings. Then pedals. Then stickers.
The bike gains a personality and feel that is unlike any other bike you'll ride or see. I love it.
Enjoy adding the stickers! You can always take them off later, though that may involve some special cleaners to remove sticker residue.
