Pictures or it's not real :!:

 

[EarlofBarnet]

Oh it's real. Something that weighs as much as this must be real!

It's going to go 21sp now as i have all the bits to hand. Singlespeed would have been nice, but can't justify the cost of the parts at the moment.

All you need do is break the cassette up. Take the spacers and the cog you want, then make your own.

Unless it's a freewheel, in which case a BMX freewheel will sort you out.

ooh jusr noticed the dropouts

 

[legrandefromage]

is there a rear mech hanger?

 

[EarlofBarnet]

I've got a SIS rear mech for it, which is mounted via a small bracket which slots in to the dropout. The sliding drop outs would make it easy to tension a s/s set-up though. It's a freewheel rear wheel, would a BMX single freewheel just attach (wasn't sure if it'd be a different thread size etc)? I'd need a new chainset to go s/s too, which would drain the funds a little. We'll see, might gear it up to singlespeed it at a later date.

You could make a DIY singlespeed freewheel with your existing mulitple freewheel, just screw the biggest cog to a piece of wood and bash / chainwhip off the lockring, all the cogs and spacers will slide off, just fit enough of said spacers back on around behind the one chosen cog (usually one of the two biggest) and lockring / screw it back on again... there was a good link to this but I can't find it.

ps here's same frame as yours that I built from shed find recently, new owner said it doesn't half turn heads when he does street art workshops at our local BMX park:

Dear Lord, there is more of them around! The people at Townsend must have been cruel! Haha.

I'll look in to the DIY s/s freewheel, sounds a plan that.

 

[Dead Rats]

I'll try to find the link, but honestly it's a piece of p*ss to do and makes yr chances of sorting chainline out much easier... work hack surely = better in singlespeed!

Praise the lord!
