Re-do an Old Bicycle
HI! What all do I need to replace to have a single speed? New back wheel and new gear that the chain links onto? The derailleur is junk.

If you want to do it on the cheap, then just remove the derailleur and run the chain around one of the chainrings in the back, and one of the chain rings in the front. A good combination would be small ring up front with a middle ring out back.
This way you won't have to replace the wheel or buy new stuff.
