the wheelset is from my 1974 gazelle tour de avenir. its strange, the bike was a road bike, but came with a flip flop hub. kinda strange. and the paint, well, i got bored a long time ago. im going to repaint the wheels rust red primer to somewhat match the saddle.
btw, they are 27" wheels, 27x1 tyres

Cool. I just ordered a new rim and some spokes to rebuild a really old Shimano high flange hub that looks a lot like those (only mine is chrome). High flange hubs FTW.

Ok a 15mm wrench thats the one thing I dont have. I DO have Park Tools bearing grease though, its green in color! But what am I going to put it on if my BB is already tight? There are the pedal threads but I don't know if Im supposed to grease them.
How do I tell if I have a threadless fork? I guess they are shipping them out with both types of forks. It says (1 inch threaded or threadless NoChoice) And what will the difference be?
The lockrings are referring to the bottom bracket lockrings?
Who can recommend bullhorns that will fit on this bike?

6 miles is kinda a lot for me. Generally at the gym il do around 12-13 "electronic" miles in half an hour, but that isn't the same as riding a fixed gear bike up and down hills, ect.
