Hey guys,

So i recently came across a mid-eighties Miyata Six Ten Steel frame for 25 bucks. ( I figure it was a pretty good deal) Now, this thing is absolutely hit, The frame (from what i can tell) is in good shape but i mean, rusted everything everything else, rims bent all out of wack...it does have Cinelli bartape though! haha.

Anyway, im planing on making this my winter refurb/single speed convert. project. This is going to be my first project bike ever, so Ive recently figured out that i have no idea what I'm doing. Im guessing you guys could help me along the way.

What are the necessities to convert a bike like this to single speed other than the obvious conversion kit? I have no idea where to begin. Can you guys give me a basic list of things I am going to be needing along with the possible places to buy such componentry? Ill post pics later. Prepare yourself, this thing is not pretty as it sits right now...
