Fixie project update...

It’s sweet what you can do with some tools and an old bike. My fixie project has been moving slower than ever, but the bike is ride-ready. Still more to do with it to make it a complete project, but that will probably happen in the spring if I happen to have any money. And we’re only talkin’ like $60 buck, but hey, there’s lots of other bills and this is an unnecessary project. Anyhow, here is it, a ‘70’s vintage Schwinn le Tour, converted to one fixed gear. Had to re-space the rear axle and re-dish the wheel after taken the old geared freewheel off, and since their was no provision for a regular, reverse thread lock-ring on the hub, I cranked down a normally threaded lock ring off an English thread adjustable cup bottom bracket against the track cog. Wow, that was a lot of shop talk. Sorry if you don’t care, but I’m proud that it worked. I've tried to post pix of the bike, but so far something isn't working. You'll see it soon. More on that project as it slooooowly progresses….
