Re that first bike @Dogs posted, anyone run singlespeed with an iscg guide as the tensioner like that?
I've just received a BFE (with front end damage, I'll be replacing the front triangle) and am looking at the options for singlespeeding it. It has the upgrade to Syntace x12 dropouts so I don't want to mess with them. I'd thought about replacing the bb shell with an eccentric but upon getting it I've realised the seattube is kinked and will have to go so if I chop the bb shell out to it'd end up being just the chainstays and maybe seat stays left!
I feel a bit wired about the identity of bikes I heavily modify. Like, they’re not what the started out as but they’re not really one of my frames either. I don’t count them in the numbering system I’m using for frames I build from scratch.
