I just traded an old mountain bike for an early 80's traveler. Sugino crank and suntour AR components. I want to build up my first single speed and am wondering whether I should go fixed or single? I will be using this bike as a commuter and my ride, while short (2 miles) is moderately hilly.

Can I use the crank on the bike on this conversion? The wheels are 27 inch, rear freewheel, can this be used? Are the suntour AR derailleurs and shifters any good?

Thanks in advance.
