Rigid Specialized singlespeed build done
 

Here is a completed singlespeed conversion from a mid 90's steel Specialized Rockhopper. Found the bike in bad shape and thought it was worth fixing. Lots of fun, it's going to get a new seat and tires to make it a little better as a city bike. It's hard on the wrists to ride on a trail with any kind of roots but perfect for rough streets.

looks great!

agreed, it looks great.
did you repaint the frame? looks like it was kept in pretty good shape.

Sweet.

awesome. where did you find your cranks? i have a 95 stumpy i want to single speed but i don't want to spend a fortune on new cranks.

Frame looks like original paint, there are plenty of dings but bright. The cranks are Suntour X-1 (originals) which was originally a triple mountain set with all the rings taken off and a 32 tooth put on the front. Race Face makes a lot of chainrings, that would probably be the best choice if you want to fine tune the gear.

thanks. i'll look into it. single speed vintage specialized is a awesome idea.
