Even if I take all the lock nuts + spacers off, it's 1/2" wider than my dropouts, and the sprocket's practically touching the chainstay. Tried to re-lace the Hystop with the spokes I was going to use, they're just a little too short for 4-cross and way too long for 3. I had a lot more parts +patience half a lifetime ago. Oh well. 
Here are my choices: spend a few more dollars that I don't really have. Nope. Make Outlaw happy by switching my build to the step-thru. Not in this lifetime, I'd rather get paddle whacked. 
Maybe if I was only 5' tall. Use my New Departure, even though I never found my 52t front cog. Pedaling like a BMXer trapped on the interstate doesn't appeal to me, ain't gonna happen. Use the 10-spd. stuff I just put on the beater. Noisy, sloppy, Falcon dime-store junk, no thank you. Last resort, what I'll probably do - since I only pedal it 10' or so, and it'll give good leverage on the brake, put the New Dep. and matching front on my motorized Pacific "Schwinn", and put it's fresh alloy set on Mr. Goodyear. 
Be proud if OUTLAW threatens to have you "whacked"...That's the NEW standard for coolness this year.
I usually don't paint my bikes, other than shooting more black over scratches on black ones, but they usually still have most of their factory finish. This one was covered with rust. It came out OK for an amateur rattle can job, but I may add some detail. I tend to always keep a coaster bike around, this one works GREAT! Not on any real off-road stuff, obviously, but a great street and bike path bike. It looks a little different with the seat and handlebar adjusted better, I might get another picture before it's done.
