hahaha no. flying pigeons are kinda sweet though. its an '81 schwinn world tourist singlespeed/coaster brake bike. swapping out the sprung saddle and northroad bars for road drops and a concor lookalike.

cool, i kinda figured that made sense. im probably going to run 17-44 on it.

i had this dude on ebay that had 36h 27" alloy coaster brake back/QR front wheelsets for like $120, but he ran out of shimano coaster hubs and said he'd hit me up when he gets some more. when i get them i'm probably going to take them to my lbs to make sure theyre true and dont go out of true(flexing the spokes and stuff). im lazy, i just want a lighter bike cause i hate carrying the heavy ones up the stairs to my friends apartments haha

edit - so it would be easier to pedal on the lighter bike. OK. this is very logical, and pretty much what i wanted to confirm haha.
