Converting Bike To Single Speed
A single-speed bicycle is a type of bicycle with a single gear ratio. These bicycles are without derailleur gears, hub gearing or other methods for varying the gear ratio of the bicycle.
not to be confused with fixed gear, is form of XC mountain biking that is done using a single-speed bicycle that has only one gear (approx. 2:1 ratio) and generally fewer components. The idea is simplicity. The straight chain line provides efficient pedaling.
While any bike that doesn't have multiple gears or speeds is technically called a "single-speed" bicycle, this term generally refers to a bike with a one-speed freewheel and coaster brakes.

My new fixie project 106/365
I bought this bike off of Craigs List tonight. I am going to convert it to a single speed fixed gear bike. It is a "1979 Concord Selecta 12 - Freedom Deluxe". Check out the rotting gumwalls and cool mirror! The foam grips are hard as a rock! I wish ya all can see this bike the way I see it in my mind. It's gonna be a process....
