This is our latest shop project. This bike is a real POS but we're turning it into a full suspension(ha ha) single speed icebike complete with studded tires. We want to build another just like it and race them on our buddy's frozen lake this winter.

Does that have a unified rear triangle? I've been keeping an eye out for an old schwinn homegrown URT for a full suspension SS.

up here in the great white north we use self-tapping screws to make winter tires for bikes-I'm going to build a fixed one for this winter from an old Hard Rock-no more slush in the derailler. Also a couple of BMXs fixed for sons.

These deals always come up when I'm broke. I always liked that design. Thanks
