I decided to convert a schwinn traveler instead of just buying bd...
haha but really I like my bike a lot. When I first decided to convert I thought I would just do SS, but bought a SS conversion from performance only to find out there is such thing as a cassette and that it is different from a freewheel. Not knowing I could just buy a freewheel I bought a cassette rear wheel to use the conversion on. Dudes at my bike shop suck. It's all good though I threw that on my Gf's bike and converted it to SS and bought a flip/flop wheelset for my bike.
Also, I once tried removing the cranks with the bolts still on... I have no idea how nothing stripped, guess I'm a wimp.
