A friend will braze on some rack and fender mounts (I will supervise and hold his beer) to my Schwinn KOM. Then I'm going to get the frame powder-coated; I'm thinking clear coat to show off the lugs, maybe with a light metal flake.
I'm also going to spread the rear to 135 mm from 130, and replace the vintage 6-speed Uniglide wheels with some newer 8-speed ones.
