Hi all
This is my first post but I've been lurking around here for quite awhile and have found it a great resource throughout the build process of my conversion...
Yes, I know, some of you won't like this, but if any of you are from Tucson and know of Bicas, you can be assured that I did not put any more money into this than the frame was worth (I managed to work-trade everything except the rear wheel)... and speaking of a frame that's probably not worth much, it's an early 70's Schwinn Continental, complete with one piece cranks! But I don't care about that, it's not about modern parts and what people say is cool, the point of this was doing the process myself, and creating a simple, sturdy bicycle for in-town commuting and the general joy of riding. And a joy to ride it is! For some reason it just puts a big stupid grin on my face every time I ride it!

Anyway, I did utilize the search function, and have read all there is to know about chainline, but I just wanted to see if this is close enough before I ride it too much...

As you can see, the chainwheel might be just a bit too far inwards, but I was just wondering if it is within a reasonable amount of variance.
I suppose I could find another very thin spacer to put between the chainwheel and the locknut thing that holds it on and doubles as the right cone (this is what I did to space it to where it is now, and isn't anything I read on here, just something I figured out on my own).
Thanks!
