I know some of these parts are probably NOT top notch,
but hey, for $250.00 I have a bike. I have a triple crank on
there now since the cogs are riveted on. I'm using the rear
der. as a chain tensioner. I already had some of the other
parts. Chris may recognize the fork, seat and grips. (Thanks
again man!)

Looks like a decent inexpensive conversion. You can further unbolt the
small ring from your crank, and replace the large with a bash guard of some
kind, or grind the teeth off, as I recall someone in this group doing for
their SS. Good luck, I think you'll find it's much easier to ride than you
expect!

No I can't unbolt the granny and big gears since they're
"riveted" on. However, why not leave the big ring on and
use it as a bash guard? The small ring - well it seems
innocuous.

....Careful! Singlespeeding is addictive.

Welcome.

Ohhh, you've got one of "those" cranksets. Well, nothing wrong with that, I
suppose. If you decide you like the bike and singlespeeding enough, you
can always drop some more money into it for upgrades.
