Cheapest option is remove the RDR and shorten the chain. Whamo instant SS.
...or...
Take your wheel to a shop.
Ask them to remove the cogs and put a SS frewheel on and redish the wheel. BOOM you have a SS.
Ask them to remove the cogs and redish the wheel for SS. Buy a threaded cog and a bb lockring and install at home with loctite. POW you have a FG
Both shop options will cost more than the bike is worth.
