It started life as a half done Raleigh Equpie single speed hack, battled for on Ebay and acquired for under a hundred quid.
I immediately set to work with an angle grinder and chisel to rid it of any excess metal and protrusions. Next came nearly 3 weeks of graft with the nitromors...I'll never do that again.
4 coats of primer, 4 of gloss black( they'd run out of olive green and I'm impatient) and 3 coats of lacquer later and she was ready to reassemble. A new black headset was all that was needed to make her road worthy, however... I splashed out on some profile base bars and a cyclocross brake lever for to finish the minimalist look. A couple of stickers and some bar tape later and hey presto. 
One fast, fun hack.
Just got to get me some muscles now.
