I just picked up an 86-87 Bianchi frame that I would like to build into a single speed for my girlfriend.



I have never built a bicycle before but I would really like to learn.

I know there are tons and tons of things that go into building one and i'm prepared to spend several weeks/months building this.

I think it will be a good learning experience for me.


I already plan on buying the following:



drop handlebars/ road handle bars

seat

wheels

pedals

crank

etc.



I guess my main question is do I need to buy any specific parts to make this a single speed?

Or can i just throw anything on there and hope it works?



I know those questions may sound dumb. I'm just trying to make sure that I learn the right way the first time



Any information would be greatly appreciated
