thanx guys, welcome back kev. Yep, Multi, thats a varsity. It's got that forward freewheel or whatever the h*** it is...

[Rat Rod]

I like the yellow old school skateboard.

It's got that forward freewheel or whatever the heck it is...

Aaah yes, those things. I had the same sort of system on my first 10-speed. It was cool that you could shift while coasting, but I don't know if there were any other benefits.

Lately, whenever I see a diamond frame, I want to make it into a fixie just a phase I'm going through I guess...

multi: if you want it you can have it!! I'd like a fixie, just to play with, but don't know the first thing about making one!!

[Multipass]

multi: if you want it you can have it!!

Ooh! That's a very tempting offer

Very tempting indeed! Hmmmmmm.....

Do you have the original wheelset? I suspect it may already have a fixed gear cluster on the back. If it does, you could swap out the front freewheel for a standard crankset, remove the derailleurs and presto! Instant fixie!

I do have the wheels but never really checked them out...I'll let you think about the offer for a few then check to see if it is a fixed wheel...also, thanks for the fixie tutorial!!

[Markm]

got the headlight mounted but its still not working...


got most of the dents pounded out of the chainguard and reinstalled it. Looks like it was bent in half at one time don't really care for it but it matches,still cant get the stickers off the darn frame though!!

[rat royale]

You did a super job straightening out the bent chainguard.... Hey.... I got some bent fenders over here

This looks like it would be quite comfortable.

I found that the water transfers come off with some cleaners 409(dissolve) or waxes. If not those, swipe em with acetone and couple minutes later, give em another gentle wipe. They should just kinda disappear.

[Markm]

thanx skoda...Ill try it.

[Danimal]

I know I'm late to this thread, but I LOVE that bike! Nice job markm.

I'm gonna build something like that someday...
