2008 Schwinn Madison Customized Fixed Gear Single Speed Bicycle

Description: I love this bike and am not in a rush to sell, but I do not ride it as much as I would like. I had a lot of fun building this up, and I really enjoy staring at it. That being said, it would be nice to make space for new projects ... convince me to let go of it! 2008 Schwinn Madison, 54 cm c-c and 58 cm c-t. Chromoly steel frame. I am 5'-9" and it fits me well, as pictured. I bought the bike off the original owner in late 2020. He told me that the seat post wasn't original, and that there are some dents in the seat stays from someone trying to steal it while it was locked up. The dents should be visible in the photos. The bike looks to have been very well cared for by the original owner. There are blemishes, but not many. I have ridden it less than 100 miles since I bought it and rebuilt it as my lifestyle no longer makes riding a fixed gear an easy choice. Build:- Original wheels and headset (overhauled 2021)- 19 tooth fixed rear cog and 20 tooth freewheel installed in 2021- New square taper sealed cartridge bottom bracket, Origin8 cranks, 53 tooth SR Rountech chainring installed in 2021- New KMC Z410NP chain and Promax C-1 tensioner installed in 2021- Vittoria Rubino Pro Endurance 700x25c tires not original but came to me with the bike. I have some newer 700x25 thickslicks (not new, but low miles and good condition) that I could install or throw in if you are interested. - New Origin8 Urban Pro Rise 580mm wide handlebars, Velo Orange Tall Stack 110mm reach stem, and Velo Orange Rustines orange bar plugs installed in 2021.- Tektro brake lever and R539 brake caliper and Kool Stop pads (all lightly used at the time of install) plus new cable, 2021.- Can come with either or both the Charge Spoon saddle or Hiland saddle. Charge saddle had a few thousand miles on it by the time it was installed for photos and is still in good shape, Hiland saddle is almost new. - Head badge off a 1982 Schwinn Continental installed, holes drilled and tapped, 2021- Pedals are currently orange DMR V6 with black Origin8 toe straps, as shown in some photos. The bike can come with either or both the DMR pedals or the Shimano SPD pedals pictured. The handlebar grips were a wild idea I had, inspired by accidentally misreading a message from a friend, and I decided to run with it. The graphics are printed on sticker paper and covered with 7/8" ID 1-1/8" OD clear vinyl tubing. I had caulked them to prevent them from throttling, but the caulk has since broken. I have never ridden this bike in the rain so I have no clue how they would hold up. The grips are not comfortable, as they are smooth and hard, but they are hilarious and attract a lot of attention. The listing does not include the Elite Ciussi bottle cage pictured. However, it could include the Watrbodl elmer's parody bottle and two other brand new generic silver bottle cages (which appear in some of the photos), if you are interested in the whole theme. I could even give you the file for the graphic on a USB drive. Message me and let me know. I am maybe reluctant to part it out or sell just the frame, but I could be convinced. I will not sell parts off of the bike before the frame sells first. Willing to negotiate on price and, for example, remove the handlebars or saddle or some other personal/personalized parts if you don't want them with the deal. If you are interested at all and have a proposal in mind, let me know; worst I can say is no. Willing to ship or meet up locally.
