d.rock said:I was in your same spot, I was going to rebuild my Schwinn World Sport as a single speed since I didn't know jack about deraileurs and such, but I learned a lot just from watching Youtube videos. Search for "how to adjust deraileurs" and a ton of videos will come up. I just took my time with the rebuild, got it cosmetically where I wanted it, and then at the end of the build the deraileurs were the only thing holding me back from finishing it.
There is also the option of going single speed, if your local terrain allows for it. I live near the beach so gears aren't a necessity.
I think I may go the single speed route with it.. I live in the mountains but our town is pretty flat. I see you are in Norfolk. My brother lives in VA Beach and works in Norfolk (aka Navy Nuke).
