I can't find the original picture for some reason but this is the first custom bike I built for a customer. First time ever adding a basket and I turned the rear wheel into a single speed by using the 16t lock ring. I've done this before and honestly they are some of the best and smoothest rolling wheels I've ever ridden, these old 27" wheels! The only problem is crappy axles keep bending. I also added the wood to the basket to prevent fall through. The thick wood was more of test and I told them I wanted to change it to thinner but they loved it wouldn't let me. **** it. Ok!

I usually tell them to ride it for a week and come back for adjustments. After having a chat about gears and finding out she has no idea how they work, I told her about single speeding it and benefits and we did that. And that was that for this one.



First picture in not my original picture but same exact bike.
