Hey All,

I've owned a 52cm Vitus bike for a few years. This one is vintage, nice shape. Haven't ridden this year yet, bored, and not excited about getting on bike in it's current state.

I think I want to go single speed(this is the jist of my knowledge). I pretty much know how to ride a bike & that is all, and ride hard.

What are advantages of converting a bike to single speed, as far as exercise is concerned?

I was browsing the faq., don't think I'm technical enuf to go @ something like this myself.

How much on the lower end would something like this cost?

Are there independents that would do installs piece meal out there? i'm in nyc(guessing yes)

Any advantage to straight or bull bars?
