I bought new wheels and tires for him, and put a new chain on, while taking off all the previous gearing to convert to a fixed gear. It's pretty fun to ride, I have to say. I'll try to get some better bike ride photos soon. The bike that you see poking out from the right is Rebecca's road bike, and the yellow kayak in the background is the landlords - just gives you a sense of some of the chaos we experience at the house.

Welcome Bojangles
At long last, the bike is rideable. Sometime at the beginning of the summer, Rebs and I acquired a couple new bikes to add to the stable. Our roommates, unnecessarily in my mind, chose to limit us to two bikes each, so we have to get rid of one each. The blue bike in the background, my Kona mtn bike from college, is going to a friend. Bojangles (pronounced Bo-Han-Glays, spanish style), the black bike in the foreground will be my primary commuter bike. Aside from some gearing changes, a possible a new brake cable, he's good to go.
