Hi,
Just wanted a bit of help and advice really. Bought my Gazelle Tour de l'Avenir a while back and it's served me well, my first bike tour through France and Spain. Held up really well, rack & panniers etc across the Pyrenees.
But now I want to make a little project out of it, never done much like this before so bare with me! I'd like to convert it from a geared to a single speed, it's running a suntour groupset (minus the shimano back derailleur to the suntour snapping), I'd like to keep the front chainring and cranks etc.
Also looking to fit some moustache bars to it, (I saw this project).
The wheels are Weinmann concave.
What do you think? where should I start?
Thanks!
Dan
