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)

Good job! I find restoring old bikes w/o spending a fortune most satisfying.

What did you use to remove one of those chainrings on the cottered cranks?

I removed the crank arms and the inner (small) chainring is bolted to the inside of the outer chainring. I overhauled the BB with new ball bearings and reinstalled the crank arms with new cotter pins.
