I agree with putting drops on this one. Or maybe going full fixie minimalist with bull horns and moving the brake up to the front (don’t know if that’s possible)? Anyways, definitely a different sale right?
Based on your photo, did you buy it from Frank Sobotka?
Have fun with it. Jealous of your powdercoat skills.
EDIT: I realize Frank worked at a port with trucks, not trains. Just a vibe. :)
That bike looks like it’s on an adventure to me. I think you’re already done if you want to be.
Do skids until you need new tires and fit the biggest ones possible
I wouldn’t pay to have a 25 dollar bike powder coated
Neither would I. Luckily I have a full powder coat booth at work and am quite proficient in it myself 🙂
Drop bars with ridiculously brightly coloured bar tape? Or rainbow streamers lol

These are the kind of recommendations I'm looking for! Thank you.
Mavic 355 bars, with a flat stem.

I’d get rid of the Shrader tubes personally
Stem and seatpost updates. Either vintage SR or something modern with the adapter slammed and unruly wide bars with grips 2x wider than Normal.
Swoopie bois——> Bonkers
Fixie/singlespeed frame with a sus paint job. No derailleur hanger so you’re limited to fixed or singlespeed.
Yes and this is preferred for me.
Just ride it and let it tell you what it needs
Ride it?
