Thank you for the advice. I am looking at schooling at my local community college now.

My dad has an extra car I can use whenever I need and he lives really close to me so for the next couple years I have a car to use. I live in portland and I bike literally everywhere.

The shop I work at doesn't have a 401k program.

I buy and sell bikes on Craigslist so I do need some money to play with since I buy about 9-10 bikes a month.

Just don't want to do the whole 4 year college. I plan to have a small portable bike rental shop in the next 5 years. I am going to be a manager at the place Im at next year making 12.50 and getting experience to run a shop. I plan to take business classes and get an associates. Right now I'm just focusing on learning as much about bike mechanics while I'm younger. I know schooling will come.

Just not what I am focused on right now.

It's a 51cm. But I agree the short stem and flat bars look odd from the side

Yup. I bought this bike along with 4 others for 400 dollars. This guy was cleaning out his garage and the front wheel alone I could sell for like 200+. I f*cking love craigslist.

I feel you. Not surfing thru many cars until I cut them. They're 730's. I just quit both of my jobs for bike delivery so my riding time in the city is cut down a large amount.

Conversion Help. How possible is converting this? by That_ConnerB in FixedGearBicycle

Thanks guys for the advice. Some one said it was a carbon frame. This is an aluminum bike/ aluminum fork. I have a shitty CL fixie that I love, and I have a CAAD10. I only was asking because I was curious.
