Here's one more fun single speed. A old Schwinn Speedster setup with 26" (559) MTB wheels and a coaster brake. Currently, it has some old 26x1.9 knobbies that barely fit in the frame, which was originally intended for 26x1 3/8 tires. I'm getting my kicks by skidding to a stop all about town. Once the tire's bald, I'll put some 1.25" slicks on.

The coaster is a decent performer so far. Fortunately, there are no long downhill stretches, so it doesn't get overly taxed. But I am pleasantly surprised by the performance. I'll probably add a front caliper eventually.

Gearing is currently about 63". A good number. The hairpin saddle is a inexpensive giant leather thing that feels kinda like sitting on a bench with springs for legs. The North Road bars were at first upright, but inverted bars give a nice racy feel. Combine those with the saddle, coaster brake, and frame design, the bike has a interestingly retro vibe spanning the 20th century.
