    I think I have my drivetrain figured out. Cranks and both front and rear derailleurs should work. Love me a shiny Deep V and a big shiny spoke protector.

    Okay wanted to make sure a laced up 700/29er would fit. Grabbed the rear off my single speed also a 29x2 tire. Might just be a little lower profile tire. But good news this fits!!

    It’s cool right? It looks like a Coster brake from the side. But kind of like an external Coster brake but cable operated. I think this came on a muscle bike back in the day. I got it for $5 or $10 buck years ago at a Swap Meet .

    I’ve been lusting over this seat for 10 or more years.. a year ago I was lucky enough to have @Verrt pass it on to me.. I think I just found the perfect bike for it.
