finished converting the rescued trek elance frame to a fixed-gear singlespeed today, after 2 hours of sawing and then grinding a steel drop handlebar salvaged from another trash bike to turn it into bullhorns. without derailleurs and with a single gearing ratio (kept the smaller chainring on, in case), it is a light and addictive ride. sold.
only downside: have to stop ragging on fixie-riding mission hipsters.
you have it set up fixed or freewheel?
ReplyDeletefixed. that's the addictive part. spent 20 minutes going in big figure 8s on my street.
