Hey Matt, Maybe a best option is making it a five speed with some cheap bars and a cheap thumby. Yank the extra CRs and the FD. This allows the use of a chainguard too - which can be nice in some cases. I have built a bunch of bikes like this for my extended family members who were heading off to college. The only exception was for one of my nephews I built the right bike into a single speed at his insistence. I add that last part because it didn't matter to my nephew what anybody else thought. He wanted a SS and that was that. But definitely yank anything of value. More than few of the bikes I have built were lost to theft in college towns. And when they are gone they never resurface, IME.
Chris Redding, Ca. ....and what is the 'hangtown' part of your handle mean/refer to? I am guessing Placerville. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
