I've got an older mtn. bike that I want to convert to single speed. It has a low end shimano triple crank, and all the sprockets are welded together. What is an inexpensive way to get a single crank? Do I have to buy a whole new crank? I don't want to cut up the one I have. Please help!

Thought I'd post a picture of my daily:

1970's Panasonic Sport. Built it myself with some build advice from Nathanong, thanks mate

Yes, Brooks saddle that is fully broke in and NOT for sale. Same with the Brooks cork grips. I actually wrapped the bike in vinyl that I had colour matched. And yes, original 70's front Panasonic tyre!

hmm, pic lost a lot of resolution : (

 

rollers are so much freakin fun... till you fall

 

why are you constantly getting banZored?

if you keep listening to Nathan, soon you'll be doing bar spinzors, 40mph wheeliez, one-leg-over handlebar back-flip to 360 moonwalk...

I told him I was afraid I'll flip over my handlebars and he told me to lower my stem... He's evil

 

Just placed the order for a Kilo TT, hopefully it ships out the date it is supposed to. (July 10th)

Nice, my friend just did the same thing.

 

I've been thinking about ordering one of those Kilos for a lock-up/rain bike. Can't even get a used bike for $349 around here!

You really cant beat the price! Theyre highly praised on bikeforums as far as low-end fixed gears are concerned.

i can ride my bike on rollers

 

i went on a short 4.5 mile ride but damn it was good to get out i averaged 17.5mph not bad for Syracuse's hills but i do have to say there were a couple flats in there

 

I do 15 mile Time Trials to Target for various items once a month. I've gotten it to 55 minutes from my house and back, including shopping time.

Damn thats fast.
It takes me around 1hr15min to get to work which is around 15-16mi from my house. Non TT mode with some small hills and stopping at all red lights.

 

Going for a 5 or 10 mile ride today, depends on when the rain/thunder showers that are in the forecast show up.
