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)

I, uh, wasn't backing you up. That dude made a grammatical error. You write like you're functionally illiterate and dictating to someone who's not much better.

Let's see, OP creates a thread with a title begging for help. Then, is very quick to state that he/she is "done" with this bike and is moving onto the next. After that, things start going down hill in earnest. Um, yea. OP - maybe time to move on. You were cute for about 5 seconds but everyone is over you, now. Take care.

An expensive solution with SS/FG is to get a White Industries ENO hub. I'd avoid ugly chain tensioners. Or just get a bike with horizontal or track dropouts.

In all seriousness though, don't move on to a new one. Keep at this one. You might learn a thing or two. Mmmm-mmm b%$#! Just my opinion though, you should leave both brakes on. Those protruding braze-ons (braze-ons?) don't look very pleasing.

Good luck. On your next bike look for a frame with horizontal or track dropouts. And read sheldon browns article on fixed gear conversions.
