I didn't have the money at the time, so i told him i will pay him later, and then when im ready to pay, his store is closed and he wont reply to my emails... And just before he closed i got a 4 speed shifter from him for my nexus hub, by the means of a friend.
Back to my SS, well i should figure out how to get the cassette off (if its the "screw type") and then a bmx cog from a local hard core mtb $tore ($ cause its costs!) i think i might be on my way. I really want to repaint the frame too... hope its in good condition, i kind of forgot about it... also it weighs a ton, which is not cool.
Yo this right here is pure inspiration, thanks!
PS im in turku... good luck though!
To find out whether yours is a screw-on cassette-type-of-hub (freewheel and cassette are built together), or a splined freehub (the freewheeling mechanism is in the hub), you can check out

or just post a closeup of your hub/cassette.
P.S. I think Turku people are friendly, and have an overall very positive opinion on them. I don't understand why Helsinki people think they're so superior
I now expect a reaction, LOL!
