Sears Free Spirit singlespeed conversion.

This is the wheel from my Motobecane but I am planning on turning my Motobecane into a 5 speed bike as it has vertical dropouts. This is a frame that I picked up for free a couple of days ago.

Still a work in progress.

Cool. Fixed gear or freewheel?

I'm a newer fixed gear rider, about 2 years now, I completely love it. I have my dad's raleigh tri lite converted and a old 90's mountian bike that my wife got at a garage sale for $10 "fixed up". I love hearing and watching fixed gear conversions.

Fixed isn't my thing, but that Raleigh looks WIKKEDD all stripped down! Razor sharp

Is that a BMX crank on there? Interested in how that works. Very interested...

Thanks, I didn't get a good pic of the magna's drive train, it's a 6 bolt break rotor with the cog on it. The raleigh's is a standard flip flop with no freewheel on it. I don't judge those who don't do fixed, but it was a game changer for me. I do use a front break.

The BMX crankset uses the same BB shell as a one piece crankset, which came on the frame originally. This BMX crankset actually uses sealed bearings in a 1 peice shell.
