Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Super Sport Conversion

I added this bike to the Schwinn thread, but I couldn't resist giving it it's own post

1969 Schwinn Super Sport Conversion, it's got a flip flop hub, but I've yet to put the chain on the freewheel

Looking good! Did you buy that stainless bottle from Target? Ive seen something there very similiar if not exactly the same. I bought my Super Sport AND my Sport Tourer to convert them, but never had the heart
