Fuji Sport 12

About a month and a half ago, I finally finished the revamping of my 1979 Fuji sport 12. I have had the bike for some time now but have not had the time to work on it. It belonged to my cousin who got it circa 1979-80 and rode it for about 18 months until she put it into storage. I came across it in July and it laid dormant in my care till about September. I asked a good friend of mine, J.C. who is a bike enthusiasts himself to give me hand and he happily obliged. It was a fulfilling experience to say the least, and I say this because some of the parts were easy to take off and some were harder than quantum physics. In the end we managed to strip it down and build it up in about 2 days. Thanks to the guys at Harris Cyclery in West Newton, we ended up with this dope single speed.(don't judge my hat, it was a gift for my first ride) video
I rode the bike for about 3 weeks without a brake and I almost hit like 4 people in the process. I Finally got one put on and also got a light. FYI, if you are riding at night, make sure you have a light because those potholes and careless drivers can be the end of you.
