Still trying to figure out what to do with my dad's cooper- considering dropout spread work (good since I already have nice wheels with 130mm rear hub), single-fixie (since I already have a geared road bike), or original 5-speed (current 50-36 TA cranks would give a nice range even with a 5 speed freewheel). Welcome all thoughts/suggestions. Also if anyone has a frame and/or paint shop suggestion in norcal I'd love some tips.
