I picked up this Centurion Cavaletto at a cancer benefit sale this morning. I have a bunch of cruiser fat tire type bikes, so i thought it would be nice to have something a little faster. I know very little about road bikes, but this one seems to be in fairly good condition. teh frame is lugged
It rides just fine as is, but i was thinking about going to a single speed freewheel in the back and a single sprocket in the front to clean up the look. What is the typical/best gear mix for basic cruising?
It has angled dropouts, so the chain tension should not be a problem. I'm not willing to go fixed gear yet. And I definatley want to do something different about the bars and the goose neck.
