For Sale: Fixed/Road Conversions $500

$500. Will build this and others to suit.
See Sheldon Brown on fixed gear conversions... Sheldon Brown here.
Euro pros have been doing this for many years, for winter training.
Using any road bike with horizontal rear dropouts,
we can convert to fixed gear or single speed freewheel quite easily.
I've been doing these for about 10 yrs now.
We had to figure out what worked, way before Sheldon or the internet.

If you are new to cycling, a conversion is a good starting point
as it will allow you to convert back to multi-cogs, if you ever decide
to do a century (100 miles) or something like that.
Don't take a hacksaw to your dad's vintage Cinelli or Masi.

I've done Amtrak Century three times and Solvang once, on fixed.
