i dont' have any power tools.

but i got the dropouts all nice and filed down. the next phase of this grand plan is to get a job to finance the building part of this.

chuck, since you think this was a three speed, does that mean that it takes 26" wheels with full fenders? i'm not sure because i put my girlfriend's 26" cruiser wheels in there and they just looked way too small for the frame. 700c wheels fit just fine in there, and i suspect the 27" would too. i think the last person who had it, set it up as a fixie because it only had a front hand brake...of course it could've always just been stripped clean on the sidewalk by some hooligan...
