tried the singlespeed thing on a geared bike


At the game area, I tried setting the my geared Seven Sola for one gear ratio. 32 front and 17 rear. I actually did the trail in about the same time or faster. I am converting my IF steel deluxe into a single speeder. I had the frame powdercoated a while back and I am in the process of finishing off the addition of the most important part of the bike, the application of the IF stickers:). The frame looks good! I just have to place the last decal and the frame goes to Alger for Headset pressing and the assembly of the Single speed is a go. Can not wait! Oh! I enjoyed my first attempt at Single Speeding. Here is a picture of a IF steel deluxe in single speed format.

Trying out Single Speeding

Well I amtrying out singlespeeding. My friend, Joe, lent me some SS parts and I am converting the IF(Independent Fabrication) into a Single Speed. From what I have heard it is hard to pedal in one gear, but I will try it out for the sake of working harder or even liking it. Well we see and I hope that I won't kill myself.
