but this was first posted in Women's Cycling. They advised me to post here anyway. Haven't been on here in forever. Last time I checked this was a terrible place to be :/ anyway here goes

"Anyway, I've been thinking about wanting to convert this bike maybe to just a single speed or a flip flop.



The only thing I'm concerned about is if this would be a waste of time and money.
and if I get wheels that are 700c that would mean a ton of toe overlap :[ So does that mean I have to find 650c wheels? I think this bike has 26" wheels. I'm not sure. Is that equal to 650c? Would I still have toe overlap? That also means I need to get shorter cranks. I had 165mm cranks on my Pake. I'm short like 4'11" this bike the perfect size for me. The back brakes fell apart, the front one is about to as well. The last bike I built up was a Pake 49cm I ended up giving it to my dad because the bike was too big for me. I was wondering if anyone could help me since I can't really find any information on the Schwinn Caliente; bottom bracket, cranks, etc. Also, price is pretty important. I don't have a lot of money right now and my dad is willing to buy the parts. I've told him to get used parts and I'm guess that won't be hard since I am in Portland. I'm not interested in reading Sheldon Brown either. sorry :[

sorry if this is really scattered. Hope someone can help!
