that's the way those green machines are made. I don't know the tech term (concentric gear is what's coming to me, but I'm not sure if that's it), but they do freewheel. the fork is made that way too. I was thinking they just welded the green machine fork ends to a longer fork.
another hard thing for me is the wheel I have has very few spokes, like 24 or something (haven't looked at the wheel in a while). so I'd have to figure out how to make the conversion to a 36 hole rim (I think at some point in the future i'll have a coker monster rim I could use for it) or try to drill more holes in it. but like I said, wheel building is like some mysterious dark art to me.
