Single Speed Project....Should I continue???
I found and old cruiser frame and stuck some 26" Rims with Slick on them....Converted it to single speed, and it runs great...Uphill rides are not too bad since it's a 44 teeth front chainring and 16 teeth sprocket in the rear, but really the downhill rides are the greatest. I had to replace the brake systems with one that would fit, also I placed some Road Bars....youmight say this thing is pretty ugly..."Frankinstien" in the works....
 Tell me what you think of the bike. Thanks for looking. |

Re: Single Speed Project....Should I continue???
To each their own.... hey you may be starting a new trend or something.....
 Sort of reminisant of a Van Diesel (sp?) in my opinion. The real question is... How do you like it? What others think realy shouldn't matter if you are happy... right? As far as I am concerned any fixed/ss is cool... yours may just be a work in progress.... for that matter aren't all bikes? Cheers |

Looks very nice! The frame make me think about the Specialized Tarmac. With some profiled tires it should be VERY funny to ride offroad in the mud! |

Ride it as is ... and get yourself some shoes and pedals (spd).
Wear off the slicks, or get some studded tires for winter riding. |

BTW. You may want to think about attaching a FRONT brake (or, moving the brake to the front from the rear). |
