Trek 750 single speed conversion
Hello,
I picked up a 1990 Trek 750 the other day and intend on making it a single speed bike. It has an old Suntour XCE groupset and I'm wondering what kind of SS conversion kit I will need. The previous owner received the bike "as-is" and was little help in discovering what had been done. Right away I notice that this bike has a Bontrager Race wheelset - I'm wondering if they had to use some sort of adapter to get the suntour cassette on there? The hub on the rear wheel seems to be a Bontrager unit as well.
I've been bicycling for a few years now and this will be my first "project" so anything helps.
Background on the build: Starting a graduate degree in Davis and want something to take to class. I want it to be relatively inexpensive and I don't want it to look flashy because of potential theft. There are no hills in Davis so I see no reason to have gears.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated. I will also need to figure out what gear ratios I will need.
