I'm trying to build my first single speed road bike on the cheap using spare parts from my friends local bike co-op I volunteer at. We have a TON of road bikes from the 70's that no one really wants and we were think that we might Ger folks interested in them If they were easy to ride, easy to maintain single speeds. For some reason gears and drop bars deter a lot of people.
