I went for my first ride today, on the Raleigh that I converted to SS. I LOVED IT! I wimped out and passed on the fixed gear, but I'm pretty happy with the free-wheel. Until I found this forum, I never even thought about a single speed bike. I converted my bike over using the search option on this site to get the info I needed. This is a great forum, thanks guys!! Oh yeah, legalize it, I'm still rockin on 27s :>) I do ride a Raleigh Technium with 700Cs though.
