This bike will be my commuter in Hamilton, which is rather flat.
I might try the bio-pace rings, is there a way that I can get the deraileur to work as a tensioner? - Wait that only works with freewheel SS.... haha
that is the sort of dropouts it has... anyone care to elaborate on any problems I may face?
The frame is CR-MO.
Yes this is an Avanti Ultra, made by a NZ company probably back in the 80's, or early 90's at best.
Lunigma - did you need any sort of tensioning device at all? SB gives me the thought that I don't need one...

you don't need to use a tensioner, just leave a little bit of slack, once your'e adjusting the wheel you'll figure it out. it feels pretty cool, it's hard to describe.
oh and heads up, you might not want to use sheldon's pics without permision
