The single speed project

[j5ive]

I ripped this up outa old gear I had sitting around. Still has allot to go but its getting there.

The bike.

The sweet bullseye, built the wheel up with 0 dish and spaced it right over. Chain lineis ok, but not flash.

What I'm proud of, check this out! It pulls the wheel back into the horizontal dropouts and gets the chain tight. Quite smart I thought

To come..
Nice old cantis
Retro cranks if I can find any
Stem, bar and seat change.
Powda coat eventually.

I can make you one. But first I need to think of a cool name!

They will only work with old frames like this one. say 10 bucks? You also need to drill the frame out at this stage (just the rack boss hole).

 

[luckyphil]

yeah i've got a kinda old frame, with rack mounts on it. your using vertical dropouts yeah? drill it out how much?

 

[j5ive]

just enough to fit the part through. Basically just the thread.
