Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Toronto Single Speed Conversions?

Hi, I'm new to single speeds and I was wondering if anyone in toronto has enough to conert a vertical drop out frame to a single speed...or if anyone can suggest a shop that can do it...for cheap...thanks

*edit*
Anyone with extra parts in my local area, such as wheels, bars, seats, cranks...any thing to build up the frame...
